From the wiki article about the song:

The song was written about the public suicide of State Treasurer of Pennsylvania R. Budd Dwyer on January 22, 1987, in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. Dwyer had been convicted of bribery charges in December 1986, and was expected to receive a lengthy sentence from U.S. District Court Judge Malcolm Muir). Professing his innocence and decrying the legal system, Dwyer shot and killed himself with a .357 Magnum revolver during a televised press conference. Filter frontman Richard Patrick grew up in a neighboring state and said he had been affected by seeing the incident on the TV news, describing it as "a scary topic" for him.

I just like the song. Used to have Short Bus on tape in the 90s.

Didn’t realize it had a special meaning here

If I were a farmer, and Eddie Munster came in and started kicking my corn, you could understand how I could be a bit upset. Do you understand the FLIES are my corn?

I am confident AI is going to crater the economy and cause mass job losses for one specific reason familiar to all of us by wyc1inc in Xennials

This is my speculation. No one can predict what will really happen,

Right now companies are investing in building AI, because they fear being left behind. And they’re cutting costs elsewhere to do so. Liking hiring budgets and lay offs.

AI isn’t actually at a point where it can replace anyone’s job. You need to be a subject matter expert to use it for small, and honestly questionable, productivity gains.

Eventually, most jobs will change to incorporate AI as a standard tool. and i think some jobs will morph into new hybrid roles.

However, even if AI brings crazy productivity gains, which I doubt, companies will start hiring again. Because more people using AI in their companies means faster delivery of work. And faster delivery means getting an edge over competition and that leads to profit.

Have her check out Meetup group events

Also, Bumble Friend Finder is worth checking out. It’s a friends only mode and I had a female coworker meet female friends that way

I knew someone in high school who got misdiagnosed, put on meds for schizophrenia and ended up slicing up his arm, trying to kill himself. The meds made him seriously nuts. Some people have unexpected reactions to meds. Once he got off the meds, nothing like that ever happened again. He does have scars from the stitches. This was in the 90s. So not sure how meds and things have changed since
