>> And there is of course mental health Mental health is THE key issue of the homeless population in Germany. I know some social workers who work with the homeless at the train station in my home town. Its frustrating to see how often these people are ignored with an attitude of "... ahh gee, its sad but what can you do?". There is a basic social security safety net, but if you are unable to even fill out a basic form -- let alone be prepared to fill it out in the first place, because THEY are our to poison you[1], no help that is given to you can help you. This is also the issue I have with "Basic Income". No form of "Basic Income" will help those people, because they don't need money but treatment and some semblance of dignity in their life -- no basic income can give you that. [1]: This is not an unusual sad story. Untreated and/or undiagnosed paranoid schizophrenia is pretty common on the street. |

There is nothing paranoid in it. Imagine being homeless while being abused and threatened probably multiple times. What guarantee one have that the food pieces given by passerby or anyone generally are good to eat?
