Given the business of Luigi Mangione but I just want to point out that many of us are 60, 70 or older and we need to consider what the upcoming generations think of this issue.
Stating that it is wrong or right is not doing civil discourse a favour. We need to understand WHY so many people think Mangione is a folk hero. Do this, or be left behind.
We cannot influence politics from beyond the grave and unfortunately, that's where many of us will be within the next couple of decades. If you feel your idealism has failed - then ask why. But the answer must ultimately be an open one.....
Accept change whether you like it or not. Please don't accuse me of 'giving in' because I'm not. I'm being realistic. Love you all....

Pain meds are dirt cheap! If insurance doesn't cover it, you can get a month's supply for about $10.

disagree that there is any deep sociological element (nor probably consequense) at play here.
