I think "support from society" along the lines of the examples you have given is part of the problem. People need something meaningful to do. I'm not trying to put forward a position of governments role in healthcare and housing, just saying they wont make the problem go away. There is a lot in the article I dont agree with, but the point that we need an outlet for human nature, basically to be part of something, I think is solid, and I don't think its solved with handouts.

I'm not suggesting we turn people into cattle. I believe that people could find meaning much more easily if there was a stronger social fabric for helping others. Individuals could work on projects meaningful to them without having to worry about a commercial component. People would have time to take care of their family and friends because they wouldn't have to work two jobs. It's about freeing people from the struggle to survive so they can use that energy to thrive.
