I don't cheer. But it happens and there is nothing to be done. We have enough systems in place to prevent such instances but people seem to work very hard to circumvent these systems... Just think of all the warning labels and all the rules we have in place and yet when an idiot tells people raw milk is perfectly safe they just go do it... What more can any society do to prevent this? At some point it is not happiness but relief because after all the progress and all the energy that was put in pushing the civilisation to where it is now, there are people out there that are willing and they do die on hills like flat earth, raw milk, antivax and on and on...
