No on is suggesting that, but at the same time, such companies offer zero ways for people experiencing a mental health crisis to heal. And maybe that's not their role, but more and more the government also is pushing people toward the private sector for their healthcare needs, so no one wants to deal with it. The choice is either hopping from job to job just to get healthcare, or homelessness. Which, if you look at who is on the streets, that's the choice many schizoaffective people are left with. It's very easy to end up on the streets when you are mentally ill; most people who are ill and manage to stay off the streets are fully supported by family. Mentally ill people sometimes just need a good 7-8 months to get off a bad manic episode. It doesn't fit with corporate next-quarter hustle culture, and it doesn't fit with our "the private sector must monetize your misery" healthcare system. Which means they slip through the cracks, onto the streets, and everyone says "well what are we supposed to do, we've got a business to run here!" Until of course you're stepping over them sleeping on the sidewalk your way to the office. Then it's time to send in the national guard to "clean up the streets". Which is a travesty a national failure. What people are suggesting is there should be another option. Things don't have to be so dire.
