That is what happened ever since they shut down all of the mental hospitals years ago.
Folks that would have been in a place that could help them can not find someone to look after them now.
I had an Uncle that was in a place for years because his mind was going fast.
Deinstitutionalization was a colossal mistake. Slash budgets, lay off mental healthcare workers, rip up the social safety net, throw patients in to the street, what did everyone think we’d get?
Correct! Spot on. Couldn't agree more.
For that service I would pay more taxes. Higher wages for politicians? No thanks. A place for folks that have mental disabilities? Yep.
The sickest thing is seeing who is taking care of our most vulnerable, the elderly and mentally disabled. Dirtbags most often, because they pay people pennies to do it. Yet LeBron is making hundreds of millions throwing a ball in a basket....
