Sometimes loners are that way because they give off “danger” vibes that are very real. Like in this case.

They did anyway

She’s shown that she’s willing to do performative self-immolation for a cause she believes in. So one can assume that she was OK with the genocide.

I can see why you’d get opioids for a bad leg break but my surgery would have been no more than uncomfortable had it gone well. Giving me as many painkillers as someone in a car accident was just crazy.

I had minor surgery 7 years ago and they sent me home with a ridiculous amount of opioids that I did not want to take (about enough to be high as a kite for a week) When I complained that the wound was not healing right they ignored me, saying it was only hurting because I wouldn’t take the opioids. This led to 5 more surgeries to correct the first one.

It’s not bureaucrats, it’s the entire society. Most people would not want to go without their family and you probably can’t fit her, her husband, 3 kids, cat and mother-in-law in your spare room.

He sounds like he would have fitted right in in Iran

Every time I try it’s crapped out due to too much demand

This war is good for China. Russia gives them money and fuel, the USA and Europe is distracted. As long as the nukes don’t fly, there’s no reason for Xi Jinping to be against it.

Sorry to hear that. Why not phone a lawyer anyway?

This is how authors start!

Well, that’s appropriate.

Actual wages might be a lot but they should at least pay local minimum wage, not kids pocket money.

I wonder how the police manage to focus enough to charge the culprit when all the conservative media they follow is going crazy with conspiracy theories about the event.

They could speak out against the fucked-up US healthcare system.

Healthcare is expensive beyond what donations can provide.

So one neighborhood in China then!

Poor people don’t vote in Florida because the incumbent Republican Party make damn sure they don’t vote. Poor people in NYC do vote because Democratic politicians don’t have a motivation to stop them

Liberals have ideas about healthcare reform but it’s really got to be a federal effort, because otherwise the red states will just put all their mentally ill on buses and send them to PA or wherever reforms first.

Let’s get the funding and see if that’s still a problem. Schizophrenics from rich families seem to have less problems with compliance - very few rich men’s mentally ill kids living on the street by choice, hmm?

Ordinary people can’t necessarily take troubled relatives into their homes because they have other responsibilities and limited resources. If you can only afford to rent a room for yourself, you can’t necessarily let your drug addict brother stay. If you have children at home, a schizophrenic relative with terrifying behaviors might cause them to grow up traumatized. This is why people end up on the streets despite have family.

It should be addressed by addressing it. Conservatives are reluctant to engage in the issue and the only suggestions I’ve seen from them of any practical intent are “Bring back the asylums” which I do not suppose they are willing to pay for.

Oh and sometimes they suggest just shooting all the homeless but that is more fascist than conservative IMHO.

Rich folks can throw money at any family problem so they think that everyone should. If their family member becomes an addict, they can pay for fancy rehab. If their family member get schizophrenia they can pay for the best psychiatrists and an apartment for them to stay in.

A lot of them do have families but severe schizophrenia strains the resources of all but the richest families: it’s hard to invite your schizophrenic uncle to stay long term if he screams constantly and rants about demons and can’t help with the rent.

Right.

It’s very much a liberal issue as conservatives think that this sort of thing is the responsibility of the family of the mentally ill person, not society.
