Oh Well....
Go to ANY McDonalds in America tomorrow morning. You will find five to ten retired oldsters and their stints, drinking coffee, chewing the sausage, hot cakes and the fat.
Go five days in a row. Every day, same old bull$hiters. Maybe they have an extra hot cake in remembrance as they drop off one by one with heart attacks.
Then they order a high fat lunch to go or come back for lunch.
The SIL/RN of my wife asked my wife to help. What helped was a couple of same aged guys chowing down at the fast food had cardiac events and died in their late 30’s.
Her younger brother got his former winning high school basketball team to eat wisely and re start 2 quarter basketball games with younger teams and beating most of them.
Her brother and his friends now play pickle ball and slow pitch softball.
They limited their fast foods to one meal per month. All are still alive. 3 including my wife’s brother have outlived their original wives.

Damn' right he's not. He can't. He's not now, nor will he ever be in a position to. Case closed.
Low IQ and lack of impulse control is a bad combination.
Which last was a moron move by someone who doesn’t understand A) how well / easily ammo stores and B) how much of it is already out here.
For fast food, they have a pretty decent Reuben. If you happen to have a store that toasts the bread on the griddle a little first, they approach excellent.
Because it’s not a health problem. It’s a heart problem. Too many black boy have only their mama’s baby daddy for a role model, who is more likely to be a criminal than not. Trace this problem back to Johnson’s Great Society that encouraged poor minority women to have children out of wedlock and not commit themselves to a stable relationship.
Yeah Rob... We’re going to see to that.
BIG PHARMA DRUGS FOR KIDS. ADD, ADHD, PHYSCHE DRUGS, MOVIES, YOUTUBE, and NETFLIX. NO RATINGS AS TO WHO CAN WATCH.
FAMILY WAS DESTROYED. We use to play out till dark, windows open, screen doors, neighbors told your parents of bad behavior, and Dad or Mom took a belt to your backside.
“But Americans need to work together to figure out why we have mass shootings every 21 hours.”
Gonna be kind of hard to undo all of the DAMAGE Socialist Democrats have done to Society as a whole, Mr. Kennedy! You and yours, included!
Take God out of the Classroom
Take God out of the Public Square
DESTROY the American Family - No Daddies in the home
Keep importing criminal illegals
De-funding Police Departments
Go SOFT on crime as a whole
Indoctrinate the kids into Socialism via the schools
Gay, gay, gay 24/7/365!
...we can go on and on and on...
And I’m also talking to YOU - ‘republicans.’ When was the last time you STOOD UP to ANY Of this?

There may be many causes, but the number of guns and availability of guns is practically irrelevant to the problem.
Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is wrong about a ban on NIH research about mass shootings
>>Makes one curious when SSRIs became mainstream<<
Bingo! I asked AI to explore this:
Columbine High School Mass Shooting occurred April 20, 1999
Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors (SSRIs) have a significant history in the United States, particularly in the treatment of depression and other mental health disorders. Here’s an overview of their history:
1. Development and Early Use (1970s-1980s)
SSRIs were first developed in the 1970s as a new class of antidepressants. The goal was to create medications that would have fewer side effects than the existing treatments, such as tricyclic antidepressants (TCAs) and monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOIs).
The first SSRI, fluoxetine, was developed by the pharmaceutical company Eli Lilly. It was approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in 1987 and marketed under the brand name Prozac.
2. Prozac and the Rise of SSRIs (1987-1990s)
Prozac quickly became popular due to its perceived effectiveness and relatively mild side effect profile compared to earlier antidepressants. Its success helped pave the way for other SSRIs to enter the market.
Throughout the 1990s, other SSRIs were developed and approved by the FDA, including sertraline (Zoloft), paroxetine (Paxil), citalopram (Celexa), and fluvoxamine (Luvox).
3. Widespread Use and Cultural Impact (1990s-2000s)
By the 1990s, SSRIs became the most commonly prescribed class of antidepressants in the U.S. They were not only used for depression but also for anxiety disorders, obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), and other conditions.
The popularity of SSRIs led to significant cultural discussions about the role of medication in treating mental health, the medicalization of mood, and the stigma surrounding mental health conditions.
4. Concerns and Controversies (2000s-Present)
As SSRIs became widely used, concerns arose about their side effects, including the risk of increased suicidal thoughts and behavior in young people. In 2004, the FDA issued a “black box” warning—the strongest warning the FDA can give—about the risk of suicide in children, adolescents, and young adults taking SSRIs.
There has also been ongoing debate about the effectiveness of SSRIs, particularly for mild to moderate depression, with some studies suggesting that their benefits might be minimal for certain patients compared to placebo.
Despite these controversies, SSRIs remain one of the most commonly prescribed classes of medications for depression and other mental health disorders in the U.S.
5. Current Status
Today, SSRIs continue to be a mainstay in the treatment of depression and anxiety disorders. They are often considered first-line treatments due to their generally favorable side effect profile compared to older antidepressants.
Newer SSRIs and related medications, such as serotonin-norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors (SNRIs), have also been developed to provide more options for patients with different needs.
SSRIs have had a profound impact on the treatment of mental health conditions in the U.S., shaping both clinical practice and public perceptions of mental health treatment.
Has he released a list of judges he would potentially nominate? Seems like it would be tough finding any that are both environmental activists and also pro-gun rights. Judges is where the rubber meets the bear cub.
