‘just’ about better services and drugs (colour me skeptical, but let’s assume), improve those services and people wouldn’t want to see their lives ended. Assisted dying changes nothing as an option either way, it isn’t objectionable.

Europe’s slide into populist absurdistan. All caused by truly thoughtless open-door immigration policies. This couldn’t end well. The fascists are having a field-day. The political left meanwhile pretends there’s no problem. Reality denial is a thing…

I was lucky, I managed to buy the updated vaccine and the flu shot in the US before our teaching term started. Knock-knock, been fine thus far.
