Say no to CA lifornia covid rules

Only because you brought up The Gipper....everytime I see a homeless vet I think of him shutting down Californias Mental Hospitals to provide tax breaks for the wealthy but I agree with those who say this really is not a topic for Aztec Mesa.

That began long before Reagan. Lots of abuse and neglect in those state run facilities by the way.

While Governor in 1967 he signed The Lanterman- Petrus-Short Act that shuttered many mental health facilities in Ca.

And again, that process began in the late 40s and 50s. The quality of care in these institutions was poor, there was neglect and outright abuse. Patients weren't being treated, just housed in overcrowded institutions. There was a movement to make this a federal, rather than a state, issue.

In 1963, President John F. Kennedy made deinstitutionalization federal policy, signing the Community Mental Health Act. The mental health law was part of Kennedy’s “New Frontier” program of social and economic reform coupled with technological innovations such as the space program.

The new law provided $150 million in federal funding over three years to build a network of “community” mental health centers that would take over treatment of mentally ill patients, allowing psychiatric hospitals to be largely emptied out, their patients released into society at large. Kennedy’s vision, and that of the Joint Commission on Mental Illness and Health whose 1961 report formed the basis for law, called for a network of treatment centers that would allow mentally ill people to integrate with their communities, living productive and fulfilling lives to the greatest extent possible.

Something like nearly 40% of homeless have substance abuse problems and these are the ones who refuse to go to shelters since that type of behavior is not allowed.

Ok, when I get home a warning is going out. This original post was intentionally posted in the wrong forum just to rile people up. Trolling, which is against forum rules.

Not cool.

Then again, why wait for later when I found a way to do it on my phone?
