Yep that’s it. Everything is a prison. Zzzz
Not everything is prison, but involuntary holds in psychiatric facilities are, and they're more expensive than just paying somebodies rent.
Pay their rent? How about we just gather a bunch of money into a pile and burn it - at least that gets your bad idea over with quickly and we can move onto a different intervention. Maybe one with long term outcomes that might be a little better than seeing what happens when you pay a drug addicts rent. I mean jfc
