One of the most powerful things we can do to end the scourge of a mental health crisis is to end poverty. It's impossible to overestimate the role that chronic economic despair plays in pushing people into a state of crisis.

Uh-huh. And do you have a suggestion for doing that that doesn’t just trade a lack of productivity for a lack of connections as the primary cause of poverty?

Geesh, end poverty. Sigh. What the heck, we'd love to be able to end poverty. A REAL issue is we have people in grievance majors that need to be putting in 6,000 hours of social work/care taking vs Bull Shit BS degrees (do need 2 years of classes too). I doubt we have the people available to alleviate the mental health crisis. You need like 2 workers for every 5 patients. Including a bunch of bruiser guys to handle physical stuff.

YOU HAVE NO IDEA HOW TO END POVERTY. Politicians need to stop overpromising. Even if you knew how to do it, government could never execute on it. How many trillions have we spent fighting poverty? You are just another tax and spend idealist with no real ideas.

But you’re a DemoRAT so you LIE about the mental Health of Old Pëdo @JoeBiden on FauxNews @FoxNews which is The New @CNN, seeing as how they silence & deplatform TRUE Conservative voices like @TuckerCarlson, & NOT Phony CIA Agents like the host of the show u were on @seanhannity

everything sucks all the time when you’re broke. you don’t eat well. you don’t sleep well. you can’t go to a doctor or dentist, like at all. your base stress levels are several clicks higher than they should be because all of the above are constant crushing weights.

“Throughout history, poverty is the normal condition of man. Advances which permit this norm to be exceeded — here and there, now and then — are the work of an extremely small minority, frequently despised, often condemned, and almost always opposed by all right-thinking people. Whenever this tiny minority is kept from creating, or (as sometimes happens) is driven out of a society, the people then slip back into abject poverty. This is known as ‘bad luck.’” -Robert Heinlein

So true. How can I help you in this cause?
Sure but Marianne I’m going to suggest that poverty must continue otherwise people will lose their dependence on those in positions of power

Ending poverty is fools gold
