This has the same energy as “we don’t have a gun control problem. We have a mental health problem” which every Republican says after every mass shooting

  Well, it’s true… It’s an empty statement, neither side agrees on the fix for poor mental health and so the ball keeps on spinning.

    It's worse than neither side agreeing on a fix. One side claims it's a mental health issue and then cuts funding for mental health. https://www.businessinsider.com/abbott-cut-mental-health-services-funding-in-texas-2022-5 https://www.businessinsider.com/abbott-cut-mental-health-ser...

      Their view is mental health breakdown is a part of a larger social-structure breakdown and no amount of spending will fix that problem. Not all solutions can be fixed with infinite dollars. So no, it isn’t “worse than that.” Meanwhile we have folks creating problems then taxing the populace then shifting tax dollars to unaccountable private sector friends and donors. True problems.

        They also prevent social measures to help reduce mental health issues.
