Is “involuntary hospitalization” libby speak for getting batshit crazy people to stop attacking other people and getting them the mental health treatment they need?

Involuntary hospitalizations seem like a necessary evil to me at this point. For instance, a friend I’ve known since literally first grade has always had mental problems and his divorce followed by Covid kicked them into high gear. He lost all of the places he could live, he lost numerous jobs and is basically…

Good ol’ Candace. Always gotta shoehorn that race hustle. Cares sooooo much but can’t even be bothered to look at basic facts like Neely walking out on help or the massive amount of money spent on homelessness and ‘mental health’ in NYC.

Racial elements? A criminally insane hobo (who walked away from mental health/homeless shelter) was threatening people because he was hungry or something. I fail to see how race played any part in this tragic situation.

“And why do some people need Cleopatra to be white?”

In most places on this planet truth is a big thing. Even in Egypt.

If we look at the map, we’ll see that Egypt is a country in Africa so I’m not really sure why that’s being contested, but I digress.

OK, let’s play this game here. If those Egyptians were Black, then does it follow that Black people should apologize for enslaving the Jews and pay them reparations?

Since Cleopatra was Egyptian, it is only correct to let them control the narrative.  Anything else is cultural appropriation of the most problematic sort.

Good god. This sounds just like white people defending appropriation of black culture and identity.

“Many of you here are liars. 100% because he was black and Penny’s white”

Since when has snarky been a lifehack? 

You honestly think editors look at anything before they post these? Bless your heart.

Also his name is Neely.  Editors missed the fact the writer is referring to the deceased as Michael Jackson?  

There are always “What ifs” that we can use to look back at any situation. What if the family had done more? What if Jordan had received different levels of care? What if any one of the parties involved had taken a different train? What if someone had just pulled Penny off of Jordan? What if Penny had held Jordan…

Jordan Neely was given voluntary treatment as an alternative to incarceration for his most recent violent offense. He walked out. Because it was voluntary.

Jackson, who was unhoused, was screaming that he was “hungry” and “thirsty” shortly before he died.

I really don’t think that chart is indicative of the recent inflationary cycle. The % of labor in price in 1979 is orders of magnitude higher than today. I’d love to see that chart for, say 2018, compared to 2022. I tried finding the raw data, but couldn’t.  

How could you possibly know if ChatGPT is giving you a useful or even accurate summary of an article unless you read the article in the first place? Do the work - there is no AI shortcut.

Student loan balances are a symptom of the real problem - the cost of college has grown at 3x inflation for the last 20-30 years. Given that colleges and universities are controlled almost exclusively by liberal administrations, you’d think maybe Democrats would prevail upon their fellow travelers to rein it in a bit.…
