He was the president we were lucky enough to have but did not deserve.

So I’m an economist and can tell you that Carter and Paul Volcker did the right thing in battling inflation. It gave him a bad name unfortunately for those who did not understand (such as yourself) but it was the whole reason why the US economy succeeded in the years after his presidency.

My favorite president as an economist. He also battled inflation with Paul Volcker and didn’t care if it tarnished his image. He made the right decision and saved the world economy for at least the next decade.

I know from a family member that having something locked away or out of sight can be just enough to get them from impulsively commuting suicide. A lot of the time it’s just someone saying fuck it and not thinking. The action of someone finding the key and unlocking it gives that person an extra 30 seconds to think about their decision.
