For a while, american police were diagnosing people with cases of "excited delirium". They would say the person was unresponsive to commands, and due to their mental state, were a danger to themselves and others.

The officer feared for their life. That's why the officer had to be involved in a shooting, resulting in injuries, and the person would later die in an ambulance or hospital.

Sometimes they used it as an excuse to kneel on people's necks. In some cases, the people they were detaining begged for their lives, only to expire later due to injuries sustained from the arrest.

Lots of people are about to be diagnosed some type of delirium.

They don't have to, but still can purchase the lower priced game, to get the same sale as you or me. Hence, frugality.

Can you elaborate? Most people will not end up as 1% rich, as implied by the name. The average working person is in risk of destitution. We are all much much closer to homelessness than we are to immense wealth.

Frugality does not imply a lack of wealth.

Not 1% rich, as the article says.

Years of being unable to afford preventative care, and insurance coverage denial for helpful procedures, mean the average person will die sooner. The lifespan of Americans is much lower, despite higher costs of healthcare, when compared against peer countries.

I bet there's more plastic in poorer people as well.

It would be interesting to see if he resigns. Then another point of data can be added to the ever-running observation of where actions actually have consequences in the us government.

I would sooner ask the common burdock it's opinion on economics.

Perhaps we take those dogs. When the unruly mobs kick in the mansions of the ultra rich, we let the dogs feed once more.

Was this the swamp that needed draining?

Jokes aside, I can't see why a swamp would need draining beyond the needs of expanding suburban sprawl. Leave the wonderfully diverse ecosystems be, to flourish and rot in peace.

One step at a time. You think a bog witch just runs a hose into a low section of woods and becomes a swamp hag overnight? No, these things take patience and care.
