There actually is money to be made fixing mental illness and homeless.

Fixing homelessness often means fixing mental illness, and since there's no money to be made fixing the homeless population's mental illness nobody will do it.

Mental illness and homelessless costs americans BILLIONS (honestly I feelthink double that number)

https://www.nih.gov/news-events/news...nearned-income

and that is just in taxable income

let alone the emergency services and murders and stuff it all flowers out it probably costs us more than the entire military industrial complex

i would love to dig up a better spreadsheet

but I know alone - and i'm just mentally ill not homeless yet - have costed Americans at least ~2.5 million in grift towards the VA and hospitals and police and blah -- now whether thats worth my 4 years of service and and 16 years of paying social security and shit - and buying crap from walmart I don't know.

I know some people who have costed you much more and are on full disability (if i was on full disability (I should be) I would be costing you guys a lot more and also have medicaid and probably have done several more surgeries by now. I'm not that much of a grifter and honestly i'm kinda too disabled to get on the queue at the lawyers office so you guys just thank yourselves that I'm not out there during J6's trying to flamethrower politicians (hypotheticallY) (I WOULD NEVER DO THAT, I tried killing myself several times first)...

anyway ---

homelessness and mental illnesss is a net loss on the:
Economy
QoL of Citizens
Tourism
Productivity
Child Safety
NOT SPREADING HEPATISIS ABC&D Syphallis AND AIDS and TB and worms and other wierd fucking shit.
etc...

The people being hurt by homelessneess and mental illness is not the politicians or CEOs --- that is why it's not getting fixed.

I really do hope this helps. Just operating at the best of my abilities to sorta straighten this out---

so in essense you're right Mr. Sparkles. Not for entirely the right reasons tho. You're right it's not profitable --- it's not profitable to the RIGHT people.

We should be having a revolution. Right now. I don't want you to go out and kill dumb kids tho. So I AM NOT CALLING FOR VIOLENCE. However we should maybe take the power away from the politicians and CEO's and stop letting them be fenced in by the military and police industrial complex and CIA, NSA, FDA, USDA, DEA, HHS, etc etc etc etc.

That said being mentally ill doesn't mean ppl are unwise or stupid or bad ppl. Some of us are very wise - we just EXPLODE when we try to move towards the goals EVERYONE SHOULD BE MOVING TOWARDS --- because

there are a LOT OF REALLY REALLY REALLY (3 reallies) BAD PPL OUT THERE and the POLICE and MILITARY god bless them are standing between US and the BAD PPL (most of them not even really intentionally or aware). I wish they where on OUR SIDE instead.

--- anyway the drugs psychiatrists push just kill ppl --- or chemically lobotimize them --- or drive them to commit mass murder

They aren't really effective or safe

and it's actually most of society that is insane because they don't want to be warrior cast and are little bitches (sorry for the sexist word buy me a better one plz) -- so they push the murdering off onto other ppl and police politicians and the military like little fucking bastard cowards with no HONOR.

I'll come back and sound cloud this in a calm voice maybe one day just so u don't have to actually try to read it.

What I fear about using the profit motive to fix problems like this is that eventually it just turns into The Purge, since we all know that's what conservatives actually want to do with all of the disabled folks, mentally ill folks, and homeless people

But within our capitalist nightmare factory the profit motive may be the only way it ever gets addressed at all

It will wind up in a purge because people aren't moral or honoroable and we condition them not to be. There are a million ways to fix that but they all require some level of force restraint and loss of freedom and or violence AFAIK.

Nonsense. You have no evidence to suggest this. Democrats are doing the purge right now though with babies[You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

I recognize that this is a Vonnegut thing but I read Slaughterhouse Five way back in high school so I do not get this joke/reference

That doesn't really make sense, since the current abortion push is a progressive idea. Keeping abortion limited or illegal is the conservative view.
