This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:
- Anon is often crazy.
- Anon is often depressed.
- Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Nevermind "mandated", do they even get the therapy they need when they are willing to sign up voluntarily? Would any spree shooter have gotten it if they signed up for it? Mental healthcare isn't exactly in a great place in most countries, especially for conditions that are a little more difficult to treat, and especially for the kinds of conditions that might prompt authorities to restrict your freedom.
America is a country in which it's easier to get guns than doctors, and now they're trying to take away vaccines on top of it. Even if you wanted to keep access to guns where it's at (for whatever reason), you could still massively influence the amount of shootings happening by making it easier to get by so people don't feel so goddamn helpless all the time. Taking 17M people off Medicaid will directly cause more medical deaths and indirectly cause more nonmedical deaths through things like frustrated shootings.
