California Gov. Gavin Newsom has signed a bill that makes it easier for authorities to compel treatment for people with mental illness or addiction issues. The proposal is partly aimed at addressing the state’s growing homelessness crisis.

    In Canada, we recommend MAID (medical assistance in dying) if you can’t afford food and shelter.

    I wish I was kidding. The government literally recommends you use their suicide chambers if you can’t pay your bills and have a mental illness.
