In 2001, the term "accident" was banned in BMJ publications. Unintended injuries & deaths are due to the actions of people. The RoSPA report demonstrates that the implementation of austerity, for example, has caused, not only suicides and disease, but also unintended yet foreseeable deaths

Overheard a middle schooler chastising a fellow student for suggesting they use AI. Whole middle school herd started mocking the AI kid.
