    it gives suicidal folks a purpose.

    Does it though?

    I think that assumes: 0. They are \ at the right time 1. They know the viable solution 2. They are capable of enacting said solution 3. It’s really just that simple, a real “if everyone carries a bucket” problem not a “faster than we can fix it” problem

    Now sure, sometimes it will work out that way especially for the people who have training/experience. Not so much for people who struggle to get out of bed in the morning now, particularly when they may have multiple factors that contribute to that.

    Also governments will probably last far longer than anyone expects, and broken political systems will probably just keep going as always or even devolve rather than get reformed to be functional (as for self-governing, probably not guaranteed either).
