If not for the deplorable mental healthcare 'system' in San Diego, my brother might be alive today. Twenty-five years on and it's only devolved. So... 🤬 for-profit healthcare & blood-sucking medical insurance corporations. 🤬 using AI & insidious algorithms to determine who 'deserves' care. 💀🖕

They were careless people, Tom and Daisy- they smashed up things and creatures and then retreated back into their money or their vast carelessness or whatever it was that kept them together, and let other people clean up the mess they had made. -FS Fitzgerald, The Great Gatsby, published 4/10/1925.

About 250M years ago, 90% of species on Earth died during the Permian extinction. All of that loss created a lot of vacant niches to fill.
 Not long after, the first mammals, our ancestors, appeared.
