I’m just gonna come right out and say “no”? We can’t handle individual care well at all. If we had UBI, actual Medicare for all, and sane safety nets this would be largely mitigated. Shoving people in institutions always results in negative outcomes. It shows a lack of care for those affected to placate those who are inconvenienced.

We can’t do anything about gun violence but the “scourge of mentally ill violence” is the real thing to address? Fuck that.
