Give them places to live and teach them to grow food which will help pay for the whole thing. It may not work for all of them but maybe it would help 35% or so of them? That’s a shitload more than we seem able to help now.

    You mean like the residential mental hospital system in the US used to do before Regan destroyed it?

      Crazy how “socialism” is often the solution for a better society… As if those two words shared some common root
