I'm sure he will be working 25 hrs a day for the People!

Fireworks are going off in San Francisco now that the Warriors are going to the finals!

Current COVID infections in San Francisco.

My coding skills are slowly progressing. I got the underlying data to pop up when the circles are clicked. Red-filled circles are increasing, green is decreasing.
The thicker the outline the higher the percentage of the population that has had the virus since this pandemic started. The highest is 41% in a neighborhood in Bayshore.

Clearly, I'll never get good at javascript.

Maybe I'll figure out how to get this onto a public website.

@jgold

I did a quick analysis on the data from this organization and here are the actual numbers for the US. Still horrible, but not at the scale you stated. Did you have a different source?

@martamccall

I think you are getting much closer to the problem that needs to be solved.

The gun restrictions being proposed will have some effect, but will not hit the target (pun intended).

We need to unpack the problem.
And, we need to message what is learned in an effective context.

(BTW, this is what I'm trying to do with the enormous wildfire management "problem")

@Mara_McGuire @WeThePeople
It will probably increase the qty of people that will see it. Hopefully more in Texas.

@safesecs
OK, so you know that he knows that you know...

@killagator
Marcus Aurelius would love Marie Curie.

@killagator
Well, to the contrary,
I'm currently more dedicated to clarifying the problems so that innovators can be more efficient at solutions!

You would be surprised at how poorly the wildfire organizations have understood their problems.

@Helical_Code
But what if a parent knew a child was prone to destructive behavior and acquired a gun?
What if they raised the child to be violent or aggressively racist?

@process @damselfly59
Yes, the solutions will be multi-generational.
Yet, all the more reason to get started now.

@FayreLylith
Don't read me wrong - your post made me think more deeply about the issue.

I think almost all of these societal issues are nested-problems. We need to unpack them and only then start proposing solutions.

But, sometimes proposing half-baked solutions surfaces new dimensions of the underlying problem. That's progress!

@process @damselfly59

Maybe the cultural solution is to teach children about the value of community. Create scenarios that teach empathy. Those kids that fail to learn empathy are put on a watch list and their parents are engaged.
Could be a little Orwellian, but there may also be a solution in there somewhere.

@FayreLylith
That would be an interesting policy:
- Document all events when a parent notified authorities about mental issues that could be a public threat.
- When a child commits a mass murder, check the list.
- If the child is convicted, automatically arrest the parent(s) that failed to notify the authorities

@MallyDaKatt
So, I think you are saying that the root of the problem is a poor categorization of the weapons?

@process @damselfly59
I hear what you are saying, but there still has to be a respect for the liberties of the individual outside of their ability to have a negative impact to society.
China is very community-focused. The individual has little place in policy development.

@process
Solving hard problems first required defining the problem itself.
You are hitting on some of the deeper problems. But, maybe the source of the cultural issues is fostered in the domain of the family?

@process
Well, the child was nurtured somewhere.
Could establishing some culpability cause parents to take their role more seriously?
