[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Homelessness. Working in a field where the issue was adjacent to what we did, I learned a lot about them. The majority of them don't want "help" and "services" which means giving up their freedom and agency or means having to do something in return for shelter. They don't want job training or drug treatment. They don't want to live in a shelter. We should just give people housing and have some rules with it but there is a certain subset of people who are never going to function in society and there is no cure for it and they need to have a bathroom and bed and be able to sit inside during the day (shelters are only a place to sleep so they spend the day outdoors or prefer their tents). [b]We also need to bring back mental institutions and allow families the ability to commit family members.[/b] It is a broken, useless system for most people. For those who do want a leg up and the help provided, more power to them! But it's a minority who do. [/quote]

I agree about mental institutions but I can't imagine how they would be funded and where the work force would come from. [/quote]
