@DaveRussell
I'm disappointed.

I guess we have to wait for things to get even worse before Americans become willing to actually do anything about it.

@tofugolem @DaveRussell Americans should watch this...

That's for 2015, I'm sure the same curve for 2024 is much worse, given that life expectancy is falling in the United States.

I'm actually starting to wonder how many might've thought about it, only to get railroaded by surveillance at the thought police level.

I mean, how many (of the rapidly accelerating) suicides and overdoses (among who knows how many other causes of surplus death) are getting looked at very closely these days?
