    Where are you talking about and comparing to what? Cause I see a lot of people dying in the streets because of mental illness or drug addiction when I take the subway to work. We don’t throw them away like ancient Sparta but we definitely don’t come close to providing the services they need to the things they need to begin to get off the street. Cause the solution now is put the homeless in prison and that’s going just fine right? …Right?

      I’m talking about basically the entire human civilization, as opposed to a civilization in which people are just permitted to die.

      But most of my experience is with the united states. We take care of people left and right, and don’t let them die.

      Do you know of a place that isn’t like this? If so, where?
