In many cultures, outside America, your considered selfish if you don't hire staff like maids or gardeners. The US will probably be there soon... Why pay taxes for a social safety net and strong community when you can hire people to look down on and get the pleasure of lording your status over people.
Not to split hairs, but your probably just counting the suicides at work. I'm not aware of any statistics for how many Foxconn workers kill themselves outside of work. Do you have a source, or are you pulling this out of thin air? Most people would assume a normal out of work suicide rate and add the at work suicide rate, making it worse.
Then it shouldn't be too hard to find citations. I'm not seeing anything indicating Kathy Griffin is educated or has an advanced degree. Katie Rich seems to have attended a fine school.
Both seemed to experience pushback from both liberals and conservatives and apologized.
Would you prefer someone who sits in their chair for 8 hours every day "working", or someone who gets their work done in afew hours and then moves on to something else or ducks out early?
In urban areas, employers have to pay and won't. In rural areas, they can grab the local chump, but if they want real talent to relocate they have to pay. Cost of living might be low, but opportunity is as well. If your employer is the only game in town, you should be compensated for that risk.
I couldn't find a good reference for "gun" violence, care to share your source? And no, people don't always follow the law, but having a law gives you recourse, no law means no recourse.
How about the darling of NRA comparisons; Switzerland. They have no concealed carry and discourage storing guns ready to use. Ammunition is controlled and cowboys aren't strolling around with one in the pipe like all the CC dumb-asses I know.
I think we do prioritize that. When I talk about normalizing gun carrying, I'm talking about the results of getting seen or caught. Sure you can hide it, but criminals stop carrying when there are adverse results from getting caught with a gun. You can see that in other countries and jurisdictions with tight gun control.
I don't know where you get your 60% likely to be on that list number. California has 12% of the US population, more then any other state. Texas only has about 8%.
It doesn't matter whether the gun carrier is licensed or not. It's about the normalization of gun carrying. If a gun carrier stands out, they will self police. If gun carrying is normal, they won't. Criminals don't want to stand out.
California seems to be doing a pretty good job with their gun laws. https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/pressroom/sosmap/firearm_mortality/firearm.htm
Mandating background checks for private sales would probably help, but I don't like it.
It's not illegal to sell someone a gun from your trunk in a dark alley. It's probably stupid, why not meet in a well lit parking lot, like I did. Realistically, owning guns is not the problem, carrying them everywhere is the problem. A criminal who can't take his gun anywhere is not going to have a gun when he wants to threaten you.
By this argument it's pointless to put locks on your door, criminals will just break in anyway. It's pointless to make murder illegal because then only criminals will kill people.
Why do these sorts of arguments only apply to gun laws?

An old movie, Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure. Somebody referred to the HP founders as Bill and Ted upstream.
Was that before or after they had an excellent adventure?

Contrast that with this...

Ted Nugent is still a darling of the right, Liz Trotta apologized, but faced no disciplinary action.
IT work isn't an assembly line. There is a lot of planning and reading that goes into it.
I forget, political violence in the US isn't as rare as I think it is, and it is virtually universally prosecuted by the
Right.

Let's have some citations.

So your saying we can't have nice things because you lack imagination?

I don't believe that ammo is actually restricted, only the ammo subsidized for range shooting and ammo given to soldiers.
Per my link and your wikipedia link, open carry is very restricted and you don't have to worry that the person carrying has a hot round in the chamber, which is all to common in the US, rifle or pistol. These guys had to explicitly tell their members not to keep a round chambered. That seems to indicate it's common, and I personally know it's common from interacting with the community.
Of the three counties you mentiond, Contra Costa seems to have the highest violent crime rate, per 1,000 citizens

You're being obtuse, and making me chuckle.

I see a marketing opportunity for a faraday cage magnet. Most of the satellite antennas are easily identified.
Your being obtuse.
I don't have a problem with people having guns. I've owned guns, and sold guns. We need gun laws that raise the bar, just like locks on doors do.
Your wrong about mass shootings.

I'd much rather have someone walking around with a rifle on their back vs a handgun tucked in their pocket.
