Thousands give up medic alert bracelet due to cost

Not necessarily. But everything has a cause, and that cause can be consequential to the choices made by someone or something distanced from the outcome. Butterflies causing hurricanes and the like.

But even in the situation where the bad outcome is directly and immediately relatable, do we not have a responsibility to act? For instance - the accident recently, where a boat and trailer came loose and rammed into an ongoing car, killing the woman driver, and leaving her son bereft in the back until emergency services were called - after several vehicles had passed the scene without stopping. Including the vehicle towing the boat. Still hasn't come forward.

Or mental health crisis callouts - should we just not bother with those? Home invasions? Suicides?

How is that different to helping house the homeless? Or providing health services to drug addicts? Or legally protecting sex workers? Or dairy owners? Or road workers?

Bad outcomes are often someones fault. Does that mean we shouldn't try to help? Or try not to contribute to more?

I'm starting to think that our troll is a bot - programmed with phrases that rightwing doofuses think are offensive to normal people.

I suppose that has to be a possibility..
