Deep history shows us that underground creatures are the ones who survive extinction events. Underground is the safest place to be in a catastrophe, apparently.

The problem is the substance abuse, not the schizophrenia.

Comorbidity with substance abuse is the most important clinical indicator of increased aggressive behaviors and crime rates in patients with schizophrenia.

Somehow I think you missed the most important sentence in that paragraph.

schizophrenic access to high-powered firearms massive dose of right-wing idiocy

Two of those things dramatically increase the chance of violence, and schizophrenia ain't one of them. Let's not perpetuate myths that mentally ill people are inherently prone to violence because they're not.

Actual regular people haven't accepted it as normal. Fascists in our country continue to hamstring any efforts to fix the situation because they want the rest of us to keep being reminded that the fascists can and will murder us at will. Standard issue stochastic terrorism.

"We"

I think YOU need to go meet some conservatives, because I have absolutely heard that exact terminology from some of my conservative relatives.

That's actually not the case.

"courts have consistently refused to hold directors liable for failing to maximise shareholder value"

"In 2014, the United States Supreme Court voiced its position in no uncertain terms. In Burwell v Hobby Lobby Stores Inc., the Supreme Court stated that “Modern corporate law does not require for profit corporations to pursue profit at the expense of everything else”. "

Just more corporate propaganda, that's all.

Injecting medications into necks.

Medical things are rarely accurate, but Jesus this one is absolutely infuriating. There's no anatomy in a neck that you could even inject anything INTO. You're not aiming for a jugular vein on the fly and there's not enough tissue in a neck to receive an intramuscular or subcutaneous injection. If your needle is too long, you're definitely hitting something critical. It's feasible that you could squirt medication into someone's trachea or esophagus or - god forbid - spine if you actually tried this nonsense.

Arms, people, ARMS. This is where we inject things into people who are not interested in receiving an injection. Arms or butts, right through the clothes. You're aiming for the deltoid muscle or the glutes. I'm even willing to concede the inaccuracy of a medication affecting someone instantly (they don't), if Hollywood would just stop having characters inject things into people's necks.

On our next episode of medical things that make me crazy: People getting shot through the shoulder with zero consequences.
