the first description is literally what’s happening in nyc so please feel free to GO FUCK YOURSELF
To hear the
#Media
describe it, hospitals in major cities are surrounded by tent-city triage centers caring for the dead and dying. Doctors and nurses are collapsing from exhaustion.
In reality, I am hearing from followers of 10 minute ER wait times.
Someone is lying to us.

Conservative pundits are invested in the fantasy that every large city is a drug-ridden hellhole filled with street rapists and mass murderers, because the second they let go of that, their constant pandering to suburbanites and rural voters collapses.

& it’s women paying the price cause we’re expected to manage their emotions for them. men live longer married; women live longer single.
Men don’t have friends and it’s killing them.
People who lack strong friendships have:
Higher blood pressure
Higher BMI
Are more likely to be depressed
Live 22% less long
Studies show males were more likely to view talking about their problems as “weird” & “a waste of time.”
