A Modest Proposal
I've figured out how to provide funding for proper housing, care, and hospitalization for Milwaukee's mentally ill: start promoting the Milwaukee County Mental Health Complex as a residential weight-loss center. Lose 44 pounds in 3 months, with no strenuous exercise — how many places can honestly make that claim?
Sure, the facilities are on the spartan side, but at least we won't make the dieters go on 25-mile hikes. With just a bit more supervision to make sure our clients don't overdo it and starve to death, I think we've got a cash cow. Scott Walker, don't miss this exciting entrepreneurial opportunity!
