i don't know even what insult i wanna use for those people. those are horrible people

I bet the people were like "smart alec"

I'm like "you go grandpa show them who's boss"

not being able to work is a death sentence in America

Yeah but have you ever tried to care for aging parents outside of a retirement community, sucks all your time, money, and energy leaving nothing else for the rest of your family. End of life care is a great place to extract wealth if you're heartless. People are their most scared and vulnerable, they'll pay anything to feel normal for just a little while longer

I think they mean it more in the sense of "this lack of money at 93 is not the fault of the individual as there is no means for them to continue to bring in income" not "put her in the mines'

She's too disabled to work in the coal mines. Otherwise she could do some 10 hour shifts and maybe afford a living with food stamps

I'd bet you hear a variation of, "just following orders."

Delusion

Sire you can , it's called inequality.

I wish GDP got the same amount of pushback from people that BMI does whenever anyone mentions it

That claim is of course being made by the richest people in the country.

Man, I only retired 3 years ago, for medical reasons, and with only just enough money. In that 3 years, essentially everything has doubled in cost. In another 3 years it will probably double again. So, it's pretty easy to see me being in a similar situation eventually, although at least I do own my home. Many retired people on fixed incomes are feeling the squeeze....

Even if the charges were dropped and she was allowed to go home

They had her shit on the curb by the time the squad car rolled off.

Social Security was supposed to float them after the time they could make a living. That's drying up faster than water in a desert Nestle is siphoning from.

The people living in America exist solely to serve the needs and wants of the oligarchy. If you're not working to make them more entrenched, you are useless and they would really prefer you just die.

Does America have no way to pay their retired and elderly people a living wage at the end of their life?

No. Everytime there is, conservatives cry antichrist and pull Usain Bolt shit trying to get it repealed.

They're about as close as you get to being the literal Sith... outside of North Korea, I guess.

Y'all should change the dollar bill line from "in God we trust" to "Got mine, fuck you"

💯

The funny thing is they keep thinking that well into their 70s living in trailer park. Led by a guy with one foot in the grave stealing billions ...for what?

Because acab

This is Jesus way of saying it's her time.

Except that statement wasn't said by royalty, it's a misattributed mistranslation of a snippet from Jean-Jacques Rousseau's Confessions.
It was written 9 years before Marie Antoinette became queen and while she was still a child and had not yet traveled to France.
This is a classic case of the victors writing history. This quote has been used countless times to try to illustrate that the royalty was out of touch (which I'm neither arguing for nor against here,) however there's no evidence it was ever spoken by the Queen - indeed it wasn't attributed to her at all for many years after her death.

Same thing now.
Some individuals are the wealthiest on earth.
The US shithole has the biggest (unpayable) debt and is the poorest country on earth.

They usually just release homeless people charged with petty crimes after the first hearing (24-48 hours) without bail. They can't pay fines, for commissary, phone calls, and all that; or work, so they're not profitable.

The exact same thing would happen in California. Assisted living facility owners are crooks.
