Pork or beef tenderloin?

I prefer a good chuck roast myself, though...

What money or drugs or death may look like.

Generation_D		2013-03-04 08:37:53 AM

I think I got into social work because I had this idea of it somehow "killing" my ego. It seems silly, but it felt very real at the time. There's a sadness to watching your idealism and convictions go to shiat. Not to mention that working in such a thankless and farked system will kill a sacred part of you. I feel tired. For the most part, people do not want help. They want money or they want drugs or they want death.

And this is exhibit A of "Why do we keep trying to help them?"

We shouldn't.

If anything, the state has been complicit in assisting these peoples' suicides. It should stop.

Yeah, what the fark is Tenderloin in the context of the headline?

I think it's a part of San Francisco, but I'm not sure. I just happen to know that - or think I know that, but I'm not sure. I'm guessing from the headline it's not a very good part of SF. Come to think of it, I'm not sure there are any good parts of SF. I've heard of Tenderloin (where people show up dead or murdered), Castro (where the gay people live NTTAWWT) and the Mission district ("walkin' along in the Mission, in the rain) where some guy missing part of his finger grew up, but I hear that's not a great place either.

/never been to Frisco, obviously - and I call it Frisco because I gather it pisses off the people who actually live in SF. (and it's shorter)

The area needs more hipsters. Look at Brooklyn now. It's safe, business is booming, and there are plenty of young, monied white kids.

I call it hipsternomics. As the number of hipsters grows, the demand for shops and restaurants follows. And since hipsters draw the line at marijuana, the percentage of the population that is drug addicted drops.

Hipsters, while seemingly nothing more than wastes of cheap beer and suspenders, are actually a key cornerstone to the revival of depressed economies.

Only reason it shouldn't stop is that instead of waiting in a social services line to get their crack money, they'll be knifing you while you walk your dog to get their crack money.

My good friend's wife was a social worker, she ended up leaving that job to work in a prison as the the prison was less depressing.

It's a local solution, granted. However, if the government made hipsterization a priority, a coordinated plan to drive the undesirables toward Detroit could save our cities.

Exactly. Welfare is a very cheap insurance policy. If they don't get their handouts, they'll go up the hill like bandits. Rich idiots see their taxes pay for drug habits and think it's all a waste of money. Well OK it is, but the Drug War has turned out to be a far more expensive way to deal with the same problem.

Thing is, even the crack addict who shiats himself knows not to kill the golden goose. It's nice to know that a schizophrenic drug-addled pants-shiatter has more common sense than Wall Street. No, wait, it isn't.

SubBass49		2013-03-04 09:15:59 AM

If you think this was depressing, try being a public school teacher that serves a neighborhood like that. Then imagine that these same people are the "parents" of the children you teach, and that sometimes the kids fall down that mineshaft of human existence right alongside them.

(have already caught 3 kids dealing drugs this school year in my classroom)

And with that I'm off to work!

What did she expect? For all the crap social workers are given, it ain't easy. The hours are long, the pay isn't that great, and you're faced with the inhumanity that individuals can do to others and themselves on a daily basis. If you're lucky, you can get a job doing clinical work for hausfraus and uptight businessmen who are a bit down because the Benz blew a tire, and it took AAA 30 minutes to get there and get it fixed.

Most social workers aren't that lucky. The majority work at non-profits dealing with the discarded, the refuse, the forgotten. They are confronted by that inhumanity on a daily basis. That takes a toll on you, and if you aren't affected, you're either lying or need to get out of the business. If one gets into the field with delusions of grandeur that they are going to stroll in and save the world, they're in for a rude awakening. I have yet to meet one social worker that has saved anyone. The only person that can do that is the individual. And that my friends, is a hellish road. But that road doesn't need to be walked alone.

What's a social worker? We're guides. We're Sherpas. We're the people that walk with the individual on that road, creating the opportunities for that person to get to the destination, and hopefully teach them how to do it themselves. Every so often, someone will get to the top, and realize it's a helluva view. Will it kill a part of you? Absolutely. That's just an occupational hazard. What this individual hasn't figured out is there is no big victory, no fanfare or homecoming parade. It's the little victories. Like the guy who brought here the picture of the tree. It's the guy saying "I'm holding steady today." Every so often, you get the best words in the world. "Hey, I'm ok now, and I don't think I need you anymore." Awesome. Mission complete. On to the next.

Generation_D		2013-03-04 09:28:52 AM

To the social workers out there:

Why are people who won't save themselves worth saving?

Don't quote crap like I'm paying you to prevent them from mugging me, that is ridiculous. Most of these farkwits you see being homeless can barely function. If anything it seems like maintaining their habits is just helping them on a slow road to where they're going to go eventually.

So why do it?

The thing is, I have lived in urban neighborhoods for over 20 years. Old guy alert: It didn't used to be this bad. But by preventing the drugged out and the drunk from killing themselves quickly with their habits of choice, you've created whole entire areas that are open-air psych wards.

It isn't working, and its stressing you guys out too.

Not a member of the NRA, but someone who has known people with severe mental health issues.

If your not mentally stable enough to own a gun, you shouldn't be on the street to begin with. We closed down the institutions in the name of humanity and this was the real world result.

People like these described once received medical and psychiatric care as well as having a roof over their head and meals to eat. Their quality of life was far higher than today.

We need to open the institutions, run them humanely, get people like these off the street and make psychiatric care readily available. We can do all of this to take care of our own without trampling on second amendment rights.

Facts get in the way of anonymous forum poster's various opinions. Best thing Fark ever did was allow the ignore. That way the trolls still get to bleat, but everyone else can carry on.

Most forums are just basically troll v troll nowadays, if they aren't heavily modded, and that gets into its own issues.

Has it occured to you that the problem has gotten a LOT worse since the government got rid of "closed-air" psych wards? Lots of people who used to be institutionalized and cared for are now left to their own devices. Even people that wouldn't require institutionalization are left high and dry by a pathetic excuse for a mental health regime and they self-medicate themselves into oblivion.

Generation_D		2013-03-04 09:56:09 AM

stonent: Yeah, so where are all the "legalize drugs" cheerleaders now?

If drugs were legal we'd still have idiots that couldn't use them without leaving their stinking rotting bodies lying around on other peoples property. Same as we have now. Only for two big differences: 1) gangs wouldnt control distribution, and 2) it would be less of a shame-based issue to deal with addictions, and more of a medical-based issue.

We'd still have the incompetent f-ups who couldn't hold a job but kept drinking and drugging. But there wouldn't be the threat of prison involved in the cleanup. Just .. get you some medicine now off you go.

But then the following entities would be out of work:

- Criminal defense attorneys
- 3/4 of the prison beds in America
- Most large drug gangs
- Major dent in the pharmaceutical industry's profits, since most illegal drugs are more in demand than legal ones.
- Criminal prosecution industry, all those DA's with less work than now
- DEA disbanded and all their mission-creep into civil rights gone overnight
- Various other alphabet agencies whose job involves spying on Americans to find drug trafficking, gone

Pretty impressive list. Now imagine out of all these how many of them have lobbyists and profit significantly from the status quo of today.

If we ended the drug war, we'd have money to help those that really needed help, and to do so properly. Not the infinite band-aids we have now, that results in drugged out and drunk people sleeping on streets regularly in every city in America, or filling up prisons, or feeding this vast array of government like DEA and FBI investigations.

No, to be specific, Reagan closed down the institutions because he was cheap, thoughtless, and wanted his rich donors that ran private facilities to get even richer.

It didn't take long for those people to max-out their potential benefit and then they would spend the rest of their lives bouncing from the streets to jail/prison.

Its occurred to me daily. I have lived for 25 years in or near the same areas that the rest of America sends its pathetic and addicted to come sleep. Streets I have seen degrade for 20 years used to never have people sleeping in doorways that now do.

I cannot understand why we open clinics to attract the addicted. It is only perpetuating their addiction. I would be fully in favor of hospital care, but nobody wants to pay for that, we're too busy paying for prison care instead.

Jimmy Carter closed down the institutions. Ronald Reagan went after the mental health money.

There is more than enough blame to go around without playing partisan politics. You'll notice I talked about fixing things instead of blaming people.

from TFA:

"Then we check our voicemail. Twenty messages from the same two or three clients who either scream their financial requests over and over, simply sit there and breathe, or tell you that witches are under their beds waiting for the next blood sacrifice."

Well, that's what happens when you give your voice number to Boehner's office. Really, you should have expected this.

The Irresponsible Captain		2013-03-04 10:18:57 AM

"For I was hungry, and you gave Me something to eat; I was thirsty, and you gave Me something to drink; I was a stranger, and you invited Me in; naked, and you clothed Me; I was sick, and you visited Me; I was in prison, and you came to Me."

It's truly disheartening that we can't find a little more for those who work so hard for those who do not, and may not ever be able to thank them. That people lucky enough to have never worried about a roof over their heads or food on the table cannot muster any compassion and justify it in every way possible. It's the little people like this, fighting every day to hold back the tide that give us hope. They save lives and families.

I won't argue there were some bad apples, there were some very bad apples indeed. Unfortunately instead of picking out the bad apples and cleaning the places up we instead went with the concept of community based treatment centers.

This forgot the socioeconomic realities that economies of scale allowed treatment to occur in the institutions that otherwise never would occur at all. The result has been a disaster resulting in decades of stories like the one described in the article.

We threw the baby out with the bathwater and it's time for society to step up to the plate and actually do something about it. Until we we're only going to see decades more of stories like the ones cited above. There is nothing human about what were doing now and it's a cycle in desperate need of breaking.
