Over the last several weeks, the Saint Charles senior living community has become a bit of a ghost town.

    Elderly people without family support are going to end up on the streets en masse because of things like this.

        This is already happening in Canada. Even though self assisted suicide is only for those already facing a terrible and unavoidable near death, we have multiple reports of medical staff recommending it for people who can be treated… which doesn’t magically get them on some death list, it just exposes the medical staff for being an apathetic idiot.

          Doesn’t get them on some death list YET. That kind of callous inhumanity ferments and grows in apathy.

      Family Support

      The Boomers can have exactly as much family support as they gave to those who came after.

      “Your 17. Get the fuck out”. “Now I’m poor and elderly, and it’s your problem” ay lmao
