I had a hopeful but naive view of humanity. I thought that progress in science and technology would naturally lead to a more educated and tolerant society. Sigh.
Back in the '90s everything messed up was "gay." The teacher won't let you turn in late homework, that's gay. Recess was cut short by a fire alarm, so gay.
I thought we'd moved past that immaturity.
You win the cutest thing I've seen today award!
Oh, but it does do something. It makes rich health insurance execs even richer! (Working as intended.)
These "justices" are a national disgrace and make a mockery of our justice system. They must be impeached and removed and ethics and honor restored. (This requires a 2/3 vote in the Senate which is unlikely to happen since many senators are equally corrupt and need to be removed as well.)

My high-functioning son is 10 and and I would like your daughter to know it can get better. Keeping calm is a skill you can develop with time and patience.

I agree that would suck. It would have to be a reliable feature that does not put the user at risk.
It would make it harder for high schoolers and dumb criminals to shoot up schools, unless they are sophisticated enough to build their own guns. Increasing the barrier for entry would not be a bad idea.
In addition to taxation, make them share their wealth with all of their employees. Their working people deserve the money more than the government.
