Montana can be considered a shithole...

https://montanafreepress.org/2022/04/11/montana-state-psychiatric-hospital-to-lose-federal-funding/

The body-slammer, billionaire governor is all about privatizing what few state services we have and so is trying to kill those services to come full circle with his self-fulfilling prophecy. Shit, we can't have anything, really. The only social services in the state are federal programs that are mostly funded by the federal government. Anything else is a nonprofit.

He only wants millionaires and billionaires to live in Montana and he wants to sell our public lands and national parks to them too. None of them pay taxes so we can't have nice things.

So, in order to kill the only mental health hospital in the state's inventory, he's allowed it to fall into irreparable decline. It was already in trouble, for years, but this governor hammered the last nail into the coffin.
