Many of us are trying to leave as quickly as possible. You can't fix a society of deeply fucking stupid as this one has become.

No wait, they got thought listening devices! What if they set them up in schools to listen to everyone's thoughts! Everyone would be safe because you can listen to all teenager's thoughts!

OK let's start...listening to the guy over there..... Wow! Jessica has tits! .....hmmm okay moving on to another kid's thoughts...

Oh shit, nevermind! Nevermind!

because fixing a problem in the United States won't line anyones pockets with dollar bills.

Someone saw a problem, figured HOW to financially gain from said problem, not solve the problem in order to financially gain from it. So some company has scored a contract to patrol schools with drones in order to "prevent" school shootings and we know they won't and the US tax payer will pay for it.

Problems in the United States are never fixed, they're handled.
