Handheld battery powered X-ray devices exist and are widely available. I used to work with those. In Germany you need a permit to operate them. https://www.thermofisher.com/order/catalog/product/de/en/XL2

Not from the US, but I assume not. I didn't mean forced treatment,but professionals know best how to approach this. Just telling him that his perception isn't real is most likely not gonna work.

The mean thing about psychosis is that you don't realize it. For him it was reality. Mental health education is key. If you notice someone in their early or mid twenties become reclusive and feel paranoid, notice a professional. As his friends should have done in college.

Btw, under psychosis people are unfit to plead, if that's the right term. So it's difficult to call him responsible.

Wtf? You're the richest country in the world. It's not a problem of too little money, it's capitalism

And someone's job is to control that this person does their job properly. Which is the someone's boss who delegated the task.

In other words, an executive who assigns a task to someone is responsible to ensure it is done properly.

A gun's purpose is to kill people, a car's is not. The analogy is flawed.

Still, assuming you have mandatory regular inspections of cars in the US, imagine you are an experienced mechanic by profession. Someone lends you a car and says it's safe but you know immediately this rustbucket hasn't been to an inspection in decades. By experience and papers. But you drive in a public space anyways and kill someone due to a fault that would have been found during an inspection. It is 100% your fault.

As I understand it, following safety procedures would have prevented this death, in the same way nonfunctional brakes would certainly be found during service.

On a side note, as an electrician who has to sign documents that electrical devices are safe to use, if one of those devices kills someone and I can prove that I followed protocol during testing, I am in the clear. Following rules makes the difference between a tragic accident and negligence.

Let's not judge people only from the instance they're registered on.

Fair enough, rules are rules. The smear campaign to paint him as a power hungry authoritarian is infuriating. This man is one of the greatest leaders our sorry species has come up with and is in general loved by the people, mostly the indigenous population of Bolivia, though.

Read his speech to the UN and it should be obvious why he is often being targeted by international powers.

Can you share the secret how to sell oneself well?

Seems fair, you pay 1000 for the logo and 600 for the hardware.
