Reply to comment by Evening_Presence_927 in What forced hospitalization feels like in New York City, as Mayor Adams pushes for more by psychothumbs

Yea but some of these people literally can't take care of themselves though, how does it help them? Like even with support they cannot live on their own

I mean no, why the fuck would I? It's not my job or industry... the problem is that you never get specific about the hard questions.

At the end of the day I never see a real solid answer for how to handle people who don't want this assistance and refuse to live like a civilized human because they are mentally ill or just fucking antisocial assholes. The answer is always just "throw more money and resources at it" and apparently someday they will willingly change? No, some people are just NOT ever going to get it together for themselves no matter how many resources are available.
