        The way this really works in medicine is that they determine the solution that will result in the greatest number of quality person years. So if you have an older person with lots of health problems and a younger person who only has the current problem, obviously saving the younger, healthier one will have the greatest positive impact. This got used during COVID with the ventilators and is a consideration for eligibility for donor organs.

          Skinheads are not a nazi offshoot fyi.

          Not going to argue that nazis have co-opted the shaved head thing, but the actual skinheads would happily beat the shit out of a nazi any day.

            OK, Nazi sympathizers then. Pulled from the SPLC:

            “The racist skinhead movement in the United States has entered its fourth decade. Since the first skinhead gangs surfaced in Texas and the Midwest in the early 1980s, this racist and violent subculture has established itself in dozens of states from coast to coast and has authored some of the country’s most vicious hate crimes in memory, from arson to assault to murder. The racist skinheads’ trademark style — shaved head, combat boots, bomber jacket, neo-Nazi and white power tattoos — has become a fixture in American culture.”
