In a few cases, people interacting with apparently-homeless people have been placed at risk when the man suddenly goes aggressive or overly expressive, and it makes for intense situation people don't want to experience.
Not often, but often enough.
In one case in the west, a cop administering an emergency injection to prevent an overdose was killed by the person she was working to save, stabbed in the chest.
Humans profile as a safety measure. We make assessments in three seconds and it's just evolution that mangled us like that. I think that's what so many people did here, and it's difficult to fault them as this article seems to mean us to do.
blindly believing that we exist in a democracy. The only democratic control common people seem to have is the ability to vote every few years .... and with the amount of influence and marketing that only rich people and corporations have, it's even difficult to describe elections as democratic.
Like how we ask pointed questions about the airplane we're about to fly on instead of just assuming some level of competence, maintenance and capacity improvements and safety.
Hey, when you were taking the course and attending the meetings describing everything you may ever need to know about your power grid so you could ask all these questions, did they serve lunch? Was it hard to schedule with the similar courses and meetings with the water company? Mine were so hard to get scheduled, but I think they just didn't have enough people to present the infrastructure and code compliance docs that space just seemed tight.
The transcription is poor; otherwise the ambiguity we don't get in the spoken version we'd also not get in the written version.
Also, the setup requires someone not to know 'that' from 'who'. I know American schooling is notoriously bad for foundational skills - the same place we get 'emails' with an S - but it limits the re-telling potential.
With ibm working hard to enshittify redhat even faster than newredhat themselves, we should consider avoiding them as a first-class porting and work target.
Look at OpenEL as a successor to the RH and an upstream for the other ELs once RH starts eating from that tasty "free stuff they can sell" trough. Having made bank on TheForeMan without actually making an effort to support it, they have a model they can use for everything.

Quick! Let's talk about supply-chain risks in modern tooling with app coding on enterprise platforms and the jeering techbros who downplay the risks as some personal attack to their tribe.
And any talk about moron-pushed software coding that seems to have survived in spite of itself, its techbro wunderkinder coders, best practice, and aggressively-spun critical concern from experienced experts, needs to include a concern about the "we tell ourselves to ignore its construction and lie about its ease of use and speed" vomit called systemd.
I worry that game coding is by no means the outlier here. And that we are at the edge of a Clue Precipice, about to take a momentous step.
Seems it was Mike Farnworth's decision to force the metro cops on the citizens of surrey, despite a clear vote otherwise. It's a gutsy move to nullify the vote of the public, and an expensive idea to fund a police service from his own budget.
...because that's what he needs to do, now.
The City needs to say "this is your budget. You get No More. And don't try to pad it with some cost-splitting on fines."
I think they were made on contract, but I got a pair of hiking/work boots almost 35 years ago and aside from the slightest rash on the toe-caps they look perfect. If I knew the brand I'd buy shoes and belts all day.
Bossed. Tossed. Embossed.
Consider finding a grown-up if you're not sure.
Damned.
