Well, if you're penniless, mentally ill, and living on the streets, I mean, really, what options do you have today, except to remain penniless, mentally ill, and living on the streets? Mental health services and support have been gutted in this great country of ours, and for good reason, they increased our taxes, and were socialist policies. So when a mentally ill homeless person poops on your front lawn, just get out your pooper scooper and thank him for your lower tax rate, and the fact that you don't live in a socialist country.
Well, now, you see, the mental health hospitals were all closed, not due to rich people not wanting to care for them, but because liberal jackasses had liberal legislators pass legislation under the ""cruelty" type of thinking--locking up schizophrenics is "cruel" they said. I was working for a pharmaceutical company at the time that had a big interest in the hospitals remaining open, but they closed (early 1980s) Now, if you think we should do it the "socialist way", okay...let's do treat them as you suggest. And that would be, 1) lock them up in wards (many in straight jackets), 2) give them massive doses of Haldol , thorazine, or Zyprexa, 3) slowly and discreetly "euthanize" them because they are of no value to the socialist system - they are a burden for the commissars. 4) Bury them quietly in an unmarked grave. Now failing that, have you a better solution?? You complain a lot about it. Why not do what you preach?? Invite them into YOUR home.....
they aren't penniless, they all draw some sort of entitlement at the first of every month. "Mental health services and support have been gutted in this great country of ours..." Can you prove this statement? I don't know where you live or where you've been, but I can tell you that wherever there are homeless, there are literally dozens and dozens of outreach programs, support services, food banks, rescue missions, and church groups geared specifically towards helping the homeless. It is more than a "cottage industry" too, as I'd estimate that somewhere between 5%-10% of our county's population is gainfully employed by one or more of these agencies. And they certainly ain't doing it for free. Face it dude, these people aren't on the street because they can't pay rent...And the sheer lunacy of your statements only show your blind ignorance and your dogmatic faith in your political beliefs. The fact is that all these support services and entitlement programs are actually magnets for the homeless. "What?", you say? Yeah. No local social services, no bums. Can you believe that? Kinda blows your theory out of the water, doesn't it. Don't believe me? I invite you to come on over, and I'll give you a personal tour. Let's talk to 100 river hobos and find out exactly how many are willing to move off the riverbank and into subsidized affordable housing. BTW, I worked in Section 8 housing for years both doing facilities maintenance, and later, management. What's your credentials? You know as much about homelessness as you know about illegal immigration...that is, you know dikk. It must be nice in your corner of paradise...no illegal immigrants, no bums crapping in public and a steady stream of echo chamber media to feed your insatiable confirmation bias.
If mental health support services are widely available, or at least as available as they have historically been, then what do you attribute to the sharp rise in mentally ill homeless people living on the streets?
Most of the western press are writing propaganda that completely ignores the relevant facts of the catastrophic effects of “immigration" policies. Oh, butt libtards claim that isn't what's happening / going to happen in the USA. Because it's different this time. 75% of the 1.5 million migrants Germany took in recently are 100% dependent on the state (taxpayer citizens). https://www.americanthinker.com/articles/2019/01/german_and_the_migrants.html 60% of men convicted of rape or attempted rape in Sweden are foreign-born https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-45269764 Sweden's largest music festival Bravalla had to be cancelled for 2018 because of all the sex attacks in 2017 https://www.theguardian.com/world/2...estival-cancelled-next-year-after-sex-attacks 92% of the recent increase in violent crimes in Lower Saxony (Germany) was attributed to migrants. https://www.dw.com/en/german-study-links-increased-crime-rate-to-migrant-arrivals/a-42006484 Such info is hugely under-reported by media, both in Europe and in the US.
Minneapolis just became the first major American city to kill single family zoning. Yep. You cannot build single family houses in Minneapolis anymore. This is totally the product of the 'progressive' Democrats. Their idea of 'solving the affordable housing crisis.' So, what can you build? Density. Density & more density. Nice neighborhoods with trees & lawns & quiet......on the way out. Duplexes, triplexes, quadplexes, jammed in townhomes, this is literally what the 'progressives' have decided is that city's future. I'm not embellishing or making any of this up. It's happening now. Other cities will follow suit. DC, Arlington (VA) have gotten hard-ons for this stuff. Particularly the women policy makers. Fly the dyke flag, the war on America is heating up says they. The Dems have control over the cities in America. And this is how they will do it: ZONING. Our cities are already shiiiiitholes thanks totally 100% to the Dems. This will make even more shiiiitholes in the USA. Scary times, and this nation is heading down a very, very bad road.
Oh, and the Minneapolis plan is heavily reliant on the policy makers claim that the end of single family zoning will result in the end of racial disparity. Can't even make this fiction up. INSAAAAAAANE
You want to see your future, kidz? Connecticut Once top tier state in the USA - - beaches, mountains, industry, business, innovation, vibrant economy. Dems took over & have ruined the Nutmeg State. - - Only Illinois & NJ suffered more out-migration in 2018 - - UTC is CT's largest employer: it announced it is moving to Boston - - Example: Bridgeport: 15% of students tested at grade level in math; 26% met the language arts standard; goods & services cost 30% more than natl avg; 20% of genpop lives below poverty line Why has CT gone down the shiiiiter? Very unfriendly, punitive environment for business; CT just hit small business with $50 mln in additional taxes raised the min wage to $15/hr; hit everyone with the 6.35% sales tax on everything; property taxes amongst top 3 in USA penalty tax brewing on people who sell high-end homes & move out of state; voted in the nation's most generous paid family medical leave act Dem legislators for years providing taxpayer paid for perks to key voting blocs All the 'free stuff' that Dems & socialists hand out Florida & North Carolina are looking forward to receiving all the wealth, all the initiative, all the people who want to make a great life instead of sitting for handouts, all the intelligent people.......adios Connecticut!
Scenes in commercials that could offend the most sensitive of Britons are now banned in Britain. The Agence France-Presse reported that a ban took effect Friday that keeps “harmful gender stereotypes” out of ads, including scenes depicting a woman who can’t park or a man who can’t change a diaper. Other potentially “harmful” stereotypes, such as women cleaning or men fixing things around the home, will remain, the Presse reported. ASA, the U.K’s regulator of advertising, identified a 2017 ad for Aptamil baby milk formula as “problematic” because it depicted a little girl growing up to be a ballerina and little boys growing up to be engineers and mountain climbers, according to the Presse.
This is what you get when you put socialists in power. Bad, bad road that this nation is on. https://www.dailywire.com/news/48468/new-denver-city-council-member-i-will-usher-ryan-saavedra
If you were as ugly looking as that skank, you would resort to communism as well. It's her only way out......
First, there are not nearly even remotely enough psychiatrists to manage all of them--it is not a specialty young medical students/residents aspire to. Secondly, liberal laws consider it "cruel" to lock them up in wards. It is cruel; no doubt. Third, and last--no one has come up with a better idea to get rid of them, except for,....the Nazis. Sorry, but all true. The policy has been treat them as outpatients. They are given their major tranquilizers to get better (haloperidol, Zyprexa, etc). And they do get better. Once they stop hallucinating, they feel better and then think they can stop taking their meds. Then they crash. Every time they crash, their brain degenerates a bit further. Now they are worse. On and on.... First person to solve this human tragedy get the Nobel, that is for sure. Not that the Nobel is worth anything more than spit, considering who awards it.....
