I have a question for you, and it's a naive one and I apologize. But you have obviously spent a lot of time here and I value your viewpoint on it, so I want to ask anyway:

What do you think, realistically, are the options available here?

In full fairness, here's where I'm coming from with this question: You talk repeatedly of a "problem" that society needs to "talk about" instead of "wishing away". But I'm not sure what to even consider, if we are discussing people with disabilities severe enough that they cannot function independently. And if independent living is not a solution, then the only other solution I see is long-term supervised living. And, AFAIK, this is something already provided through disability-based Social Security and Medicare.
