Snow is tolerable as long as the wind doesnt blow too hard

I lived in Wyoming for 15 years, some of that time on a cattle ranch in the Converse/Campbell county area. Is there ever a time when the wind doesn't blow too hard?

Is there a petition I can sign for this?

I think it was several factors besides just the states ignoring their obligations - which, I agree, many, if not most, did do!

One reason community-based care has failed is the location of housing,treatment and support facilities. Wealthy and middle class neighborhoods cried "not in my back yard" and so they were forced into poorer areas where already vulnerable people were prey for violent crime and drugs.

Too, people are not always able to care for a mentally ill family member because the support services and tools for the family weren't/aren't there. In a hospital or clinical setting, if a patient becomes agitated or aggressive, a therapist, doctor or staff have options for dealing with them. Often, the only option left to a family are the police.

Then there is dealing with people who are on the very fine line. People who can mostly handle their own affairs but make incredibly poor decisions and are vulnerable to scams or being taken advantage of. Or people with substance abuse problems in addition to mental illness. People who clearly need help more than the average person because of their illness but don't quite meet the criteria for being forced - even if you know they're going to die if they don't get help.

It's infinitely frustrating and enough to test the mental health of the rest of the family. Because there is nothing worse than watching your mentally ill child slowly kill themselves, while the world looks on, knowing there is nothing you can do about it.

Most specifically things like meats cured with nitrates

Though you must admit that there is a very specific difference between a pasture-raised brisket being cured in-house versus a can of corned beef that reads, "A product of Argentina," on the label.

Defining processed food is going to be a lot like trying to define porn: "I know it when I see it."
