That's a complicated question and answer with a lot of variables. Are we talking about gam-gam with multi-organ failure on a mechanical ventilator who has had chronic pain for years and just prayed to Jesus to send her home? Or are we talking about a 20 something athlete who just collapsed on the field of play and received immediate attention? Because both of those get different answers.

Removing guns, at least temporarily, from homes where someone is actively suicidal or in mental health crisis would be a good start. Locking guns up appropriately away from the ammunition would be another good step. Removing guns from homes where there is domestic abuse and domestic violence would go a long way as well.

You have to fund rehabilitation for addiction if you're going to open those flood gates. I'm all about legalization, but we need to follow Portugal's lead on this as they saw a major drop in overall drug use.

He erased the tweet the next day saying that the information - which his office had been given by Colombia's child welfare agency - could not be confirmed." quote from the article this thread is about.

I still haven't seen a situation where cryptocurrency is going to work better for me than cash, credit, or bill pay would. I'd have to pay a commission to buy crypto currency, I'd have pay a commission to cash out again, how is that better than just using cash/credit?

One of the neo-nazi's ran over a bunch of people with their car in attempt to kill and injure them. Did you miss that video? These nazi's are trying to kill people, they deserve life long prison sentences, not an internet platform to spew hate and calls to violence.

If crypto currency is ever going to replace cash and credit cards, you need to make it easy for 8 year old Timmy and his 80 year old grandma. At the moment neither of them have any concept of what crypto currency is or how to use it, but the sure can go down to the gas station and buy some candy from them with cash.
