I feel bad that someone committed suicide, but the answer to his issues was not to pretend he was a woman.

Quite the opposite. It is the absence of gender affirming treatments that is associated with suicide in people with gender dysphoria.

Adolescents and adults with gender dysphoria without gender-affirming treatment might be at risk of thinking about or attempting suicide. - https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/gender-dysphoria/symptoms-causes/syc-20475255

If you're a doctor, and you can't find a 18 year old wife prepared to dig your gold for 18 months and then leave you and take the house, you're not trying hard enough.

If you seek happiness for yourself, you're probably better off cutting out the middle man and just finding a woman you don't like who just turned 20 and give her your house. Divorce takes it out of you. (Or so I hear).

Hardline anti-immigration is bad for the global economy. Free movement of labour increases efficiency.

Hardline anti-LGBT is hateful, but the impact on productivity is small.

The concerns about retreating from democracy are valid and that would be very bad. Democracy is a shit system, but it's still better in the medium term that any of the other systems that people try.

Euroskepicism is probably bad for Italy. And for democracy. It weakens the block which makes it easier for China and Russia to bulldozer them on macroeconomics and geopolitics.

1) Biden has not used the federal agencies to censor political speech. He pushed social media platforms to take down false posts about the Covid-19 pandemic and the 2020 presidential election.

2) Trump set up fake electors in seven states to steal the election, and organized a insurrection to halt the transfer of power, tried to push officials to find him 11,780 extra votes in Georgia, and that's the one that we know about because it was recorded.

Headings:

Donald J. Trump is the subject of numerous legal proceedings, the scope and scale of which are unprecedented for a former President of the United States and current candidate for that office. An adverse outcome in one or more of the ongoing legal proceedings in which President Trump is involved could negatively impact TMTG and its Truth Social platform.
A publicly-traded entity controlled by President Trump has previously been subject to a cease and desist order issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission.
A number of companies that were associated with President Trump have filed for bankruptcy. There can be no assurances that TMTG will not also become bankrupt.
A number of companies that had license agreements with President Trump have failed. There can be no assurances that TMTG will not also fail.

Not as much as W Bush.

But he is also old. At least relax in the knowledge that he's much better than Trump. He's not committing crimes. He's not selling military secrets to the Saudis. He's not pardoning his friends and colleagues. He's not obstructing justice.

He's not giving his children roles in the government and security clearances they shouldn't have. He's not giving Russia polling data so that they can target their election interference well. He's not spending his days playing golf and watching TV. He's not surrounding himself with people violating the hatch act. He's not tearing up agreements that keep Iran from producing nuclear weapons, nor ones that prevent China from dominating trade in the pacific. (Although the fallout from those is difficult to fix).

Adequate is not only the enemy of perfect. Remember that it is also the enemy of evil.

Suicide is high amongst transgender people.

Variables [...] related to lifetime history of attempted suicide: hopelessness, depression symptoms, conduct disorder symptoms, impulsivity, victimization, age of first same-sex attraction, and low family support.

I suspect that Andrew Martinez suffered from low family support.

Factors that precipitated participants’ suicide attempts included rejection based on gender identity and gender dysphoria.

I'm sorry that Abigail lost her son, but three years later, she's still misgendering him, and not using his name. It's normal for grief to go through an anger phase, but the state did what it could to protect his life. But they are underfunded, and it wasn't enough. Fault also lies with Abigail. Her son ran away because he needed treatment that she was denying him, and puberty was irreversibly changing his body.

Yeah.... I've remember back in the seventies hearing about how we're all going to freeze to death because of car exhaust fumes. It's just science!

You might have breathed too many of those car exhaust fumes if you thought that car fumes were through to freeze anyone, even in the 70s.

I also remember back in the 80s when paper grocery bags were going to cause all the trees to be gone

That might be damage from the leaded exhaust fumes rather than a memory of genuine argument that paper bags would "cause all the trees to be gone".

CO2 has been known to be a greenhouse gas for a lot longer than that. The first calculation of the effect on temperature of a doubling was in the late 1800s.

Supermarket bags were never a significant proportion of national paper consumption.

I suppose they know that trans people are killed a lot more often than they kill in the US? Probably due to christian ideology driven hate crimes.

But crudely analysing the murder rate, on average your kids will be safer with a trans storyteller than a cis one. But conservatives in the US aren't for sitting on their hands after a tragedy when they can be out there spreading false narratives to support their bigotry.
