Fair enough, fortunately upvotes don't pay my rent or I'd have to find a bridge to live under. It's just frustrating to do deal with people who can't imagine that others might have different needs than their own and insist everyone fits into their quick and easily defined box.

In my case the hospital on the local military base (which I have access to) was likely to be faster to access than the paramedics, it was one of those cases like you mentioned where sometimes we can be faster than an ambulance. I did not have traffic to contend with due to the time of day there were only a handful of other people on the roads. Glad you were able to help your spouse too, they're lucky to have you!
They actually do disappear, it's called radioactive decay. Tuck in your ignorance, it's showing.
Most ethanol in the US comes from corn, which is absolutely subsidized heavily.
Good on you for being receptive to their conversation and actually making improvements and changes. Not everyone behaves that way, some people like my friend just become dependent on the help instead. It's important to recognize that external help isn't always the solution; that shouldn't stop us from trying to help initially but it's important to withdraw it if it's causing dependency.
The "why not" is that some people actually are harmed not helped by being handed stuff. I tried to help one of my friends who lived with me rent free for a year and by the end he was completely unmotivated to actually get or keep a job, contribute around the house, or even behave pleasantly towards anyone in the house. It happened gradually over time til living with him became intolerable.

If you hang out at a bar with Nazis in it, it's a Nazi bar and you're a Nazi too. Same with pedophile island. Some things are so evil if you know about it and do nothing you are just as complicit as the people directly doing it.
That would be good, private colleges could still exist but they'd have to compete with free college so the prices would have to come down and the value come up, a win for the consumer either way. It would be expensive but an important investment in our future.
I was faster than an ambulance as I could take her to a closer hospital than the one they'd be coming from and I could leave immediately, no need for a phone conversation first. Sometimes ambulances are quicker but in some cases like mine, they wouldn't be.
