The solution now seems to be to spread the misery around and yell at people who notice it.The sad thing is that mental institutions were being reformed, but then the One Flew Over Cuckoo's Nest came out, solidifying the trope of mental institutions being horrible places of torture, giving the politicians the backing of public to close down these institutions and divert the money to their pet projects.
And these days? With victimhood cult triumphant there is no way you could have institution where people would be treated for actual mental handicaps.
This could beconsidered part of progressive fanatic's war against the average Joe, even on his daily commute.
