Those are both mental health issues, as well as the latter being failure of the medical system to limit access. (As well as the unrelated easy access to firearms issue.)
Mental healthcare in the US is terrible by itself, and is under the healthcare umbrella.
...you know what they say about guys with big lift...
Funny thing is, the people I know with large vehicles around here always bemoan how difficult it is to park, yet don't want to solve the obvious problem because twice a year they want to haul a fridge to the dump or pick up something from the home improvement store rather than have it delivered or rent a truck for an hour.
...and the text messages, and the canvassers, and the snail mails, and the billboards (if you live where they are allowed), and and and.
Wish it would all just go away, I'll vote how I want despite all the waste of media.
Politicians should get some sanctioned debates and interviews on CSPAN and that's it.
I have a set of uBlock Origin filters I turn on in the "my filters" tab when this garbage gets too exhausting.

Surveillance images released by police showed one suspect dressed fully in pink - including a shower cap.
Funny that BBC describes the images but doesn't bother putting them in the article. Did they receive this news via paper telegram, dictated but not read?
Gravitational interactions between Earth, Moon, Sun leading to the orbit never really being stable, probably. The asteroid decided Earth orbit wasn't its' forever home.
Doctors are erring on the side of caution to avoid potential lawsuits and even jail time
I get it's risky and money is needed to survive, and prison is bad, and all, but it seems a bit hypocritical for doctors to violate their modern day version of the Hippocratic Oath.
Especially the part where it says:
I will prevent disease whenever I can, for prevention is preferable to cure.
That's a place where life-saving decisions should always transcend law, and there should be a law (since we can't go on gentleman's agreements anymore) that says as much to cut out this partisan horse shit that vacillates and trends downward every year.
Can't believe it's 2024 and our big accomplishment is that America figured out how to politicize the human body, and the uterus in particular.
It's Florida, dude was just bird hunting. /s
The shit of it is, the paramedics listened to the cops who demanded they inject him. They should have not been put in that situation. Cops shouldn't have any power over paramedics. The cops should have been charged and sentenced.
Unfortunately, cops are the LARPers with guns, so until the false air of power goes away, it will always be an unbalanced situation.
This whole series of court cases was garbage and did nothing to add faith that the "system" may some day be fixed.
We've used piped gas into homes since the 1820s. Good riddance.
First they have to integrate Google Meet with it so they can have three Meet clients.
Have you met Google?
