The ghoulish take are the 110,000 deaths of despair recorded in the US between February 2021 and February of 2022. The ghoulish take is this 19-year old kid from Chicago [2], definitely not a billionaire's son, saying how most of his friends and male acquaintances are usually gone by the age of 21.

- cycrutchfield 3y agoAny other non sequiturs you would like to add?
- paganel 3y agoYou saying that there’s no connection between a bunch of rich capitalists throwing away 250k a piece to go sit in a tube and the socio-economic disaster now hitting America head-on is part of the problem. In pure HN spirit, that of problem-solving, I don’t see a reasonably quick solution to this, on account of that repressive nature of the current socio-economic regime that I mentioned earlier. And nice privileged use of a Latinism, I’ll give you that.
- cycrutchfield 3y agoAre you suggesting that addiction, depression, and lack of opportunities are somehow not present in whatever alternative communist utopia you apparently have in mind? Celebrating a Pakistani billionaire’s death because of the existence of poverty in America is not surprising for a tankie. Pretty on-brand in terms of ghoulishness and level of logic.
