I haven’t known any shut ins that would qualify as having mental heath issues. Most of the people I know who never leave their house just don’t want to have a job. They don’t have any problems leaving the house or dealing with people they just don’t want to work or support themselves. Of course instances where they physically can’t leave their house because of mental health issues and trauma are different, but again that’s never been my experience when dealing with people like that and I known a lot of people who would be called “shut ins”.

Interesting choice of words, when discussing people with mental health issues.

So 100% of the ones you know have no problems leaving the house and functioning?
That doesnt sound like a very fair sample

I did say that’s just been my experience and I did say that people with legitimate problems are different. The cases I’ve seen are spouses or partners who don’t work but their partner has to do the work of two people or kids living with their parents well into their 40s and don’t ever try to support themselves. I’ve known some people who bounce from couch to couch until the person they’re staying with get’s sick of them never contributing and kicks them out. Sometimes they do eventually become self sufficient and sometimes they find someone who’s willing to support them and marry them never having to lift a finger. I doubt I’d ever be in the position to meet a real shut in who can’t leave their house because they legitimate problems or have been traumatized so this has just been my experience.

Are they seeking help for it? If not, sounds like mooching to me.

So how do you propose the problem gets solved? It’s unlikely someone who does not want to change will.

Social welfare checks.

So what do you propose? We just let them be and allow them to suffer?

Bro, I have a limited amount of money, and plenty of my own problems. You can figure out your own shit.

Trust me. The two cents of your taxes that go to help you neighbors isn’t making your debt worse.
Now the billions going to the already rich…

Not if i have to pay for uour fucking death squads to loudly kidnap my fucking neighbors. Not if you stand between me and a functioning society, stonewalling every attempt af infrastructure or efficiebt services. Not if I need to pay for your imperial bullshit wars and your fucking death squads to disapoear my neighbors in the night and your fucking cops to gas and beat my friends.

Read up a couple or three comments, and you’ll see the word “mooching.”
That’s what I was replying to, and as I have very little too mooch, fuck off.
