Most likely he's on Medicaid. He's going to a group home on a monitoring program and missing doses because he couldn't afford them would be a probation violation. I don't know the exact details, but I'm willing to bet that's how they have it structured.

Unequivocally, yes I would. I work with people who have severe psychiatric disorders pretty regularly. The difference between someone who is untreated vs. someone who is stable and adherent to their med regimen can be light years.

Part of the reason we fear people with psychiatric disorders so much is because we, as a society, fail these people. We have no reliable system for remanding them to get help, if we see signs they are decompensating. The only system we provide is one that only starts to function when they've reached crisis level.

That's not their fault; it's ours. They deserve better. A better system could have prevented this crime.

There's a wide gulf of distance between someone with antisocial personality disorder or psychopathy who fully intends to murder another person and someone experiencing profound psychosis to the point that they don't even know that their own actions are real. This guy was found not guilty by reason of insanity in the first place because he's the latter and not the former. The latter can be safe in public, if adherent to medication regimens, therapy, and monitoring. The former must be housed away from the public for life.

I say that as a healthcare professional with experience with both people who have severe psychiatric disorders and also people who are in prison. The original court found this man actually did not have murderous intent and that makes all the difference.

The problem is we don't care enough to have psych facilities like that. Which is why we have an entire wing of the emergency department at my hospital dedicated to holding people who are doing nothing but waiting for a bed at one of the trash facilities we actually do bother to provide. No real treatment in the emergency department except meds, but also not safe enough to send them home. Scary that there's somebody now who needs the bed in that facility more than this guy does.

I'll say I'm proud of this country the day we provide good, comfortable lifelong treatment facilities for people like this, alongside quality rest homes for our elderly. We have the resources to do it, and the fact that we don't is an absolute indictment of our society.

Right? Like I know several singers with a similar vocal range as mine, but I couldn't begin to tell you if any of them "sound like" my voice

And I think you seem to be unaware of how much the presidency has changed since Roosevelt's time. I don't think it's realistic to think Biden has the kind of influence just by existing that Roosevelt did. Minimally, Roosevelt was working with two Congressional parties who actually wanted what was best for the country who were capable of being ashamed. Biden... doesn't have that.

Like, imagine for three seconds Biden threatening some of the things Roosevelt did. There's just no way:

"Never before had a President threatened "to seize and operate a major industry"

He needs more than words. Words alone are useless. But believe what you want

You have to be able to back it up with real legislative threats to be a bully pulpit. A president with no legislative cooperation can say whatever they want, but when everyone knows they can't do anything, corpos will just laugh it off. Bully pulpit is really when you have enough power to be able to say, "You fix this or else we'll fix it for you."

He doesn't have a bully pulpit yet. Republicans barely control the House and the Senate is gridlock 50/50. Give him a supermajority and see what he can get done

Exactly. YT Music of such a trash interface compared to Google Play Music that I actually bothered to try Spotify when they killed GPM. They're not accomplishing their goals here

Those comic book movies are keeping theaters open, so there are screens even in existence to show Scorsese movies. He ought to be grateful.
