Will you stop going crazy in there?

He's referring to starving or dying of exposure due to destitution via bad life choices.

Yeah, but he was answering someone who was talking about people who fall through the cracks even with a strong safety net like mincome. And... he's kind of right. There's only so much you can do once you've made sure that people have to resources to keep themselves alive. You'd still want to have readily available access to mental health services, but what else can you do after that? If people willfully starve themselves to death and either refuse care or do nothing to indicate to anyone that they need it then your hands are kind of tied.
