Whenever I hear the stories of young adults crashing their cars doing 100+ in a 30 I can't help but think some of them are intentional

Oof what a risky way to go.

I mean, not really. You either die in the crash, or you starve to death on the street when you end up a para/quadriplegic homeless person. One just takes a little longer, and kinda sucks.

It's true, those are the only two possible outcomes.

How many people in the US can afford the round-the-clock care that such disabilities would bring on? How common do you think it is for family and friends to actually step up to that task?

Do you think they just wheel them to the street in a wheelbarrow and dump them out? Lol.

At first I thought you were joking but you actually think these are the only two options. And somehow also think that isn't risky. Tf?

Also, places other than America exist.

In America? Absolutely. Seen it happen myself while I was waiting for my mom to pick me up from the hospital. Guy got approved for discharge, said he had no one to pick him up, they told him they couldn't let him stay in the room or the waiting lobby.

Ding ding. Applying car to mountain was my plan, until it ended up with that I can not even be an organ donor (genetic issue that will "follow" any organ). So now? I might as well use something less risky.
