  Honestly just paying people $25/h to literally just do this would actually do some great things for the mental health crisis. The most you would need to do is maybe throw in an 8hr “mental health first aid” class and give them a line to refer out to if the person expresses anything more severe than a passive death wish. I would totally support my tax dollars paying for this on a WIDE scale.

    Just calling and talking to old people would also reduce the amount of scams they can fall for if they spend most the day talking to someone not scamming them.
