People know the best way out.

A spike in suicides at the same time driving gets safer.

Suicides are likely driven in no small part by vets with PTSD. one of the nastier hidden costs of our wars you dont' hear about as much as you probably should. (no one likes to think about it, but do some reading, it is very worrysome)

I also LOLed at the banner ad I got.

Funny though that most SOC operators don't get PTSD. PTSD is a fancy word for "quick disability check". It's usually the black and Mexican REMF supply or paper pushers that get PTSD because they saw something on their monitor or because their drill instructor was mean to them.

"IMHO"?

You can't have an "opinion" about 2+2 = 4.

It either is, or it isn't.

That is a bit like saying 2 + 3 = 17,264, imho.
