  • not have to die or suffer if we got rid of capitalism. It’s only because we work hundreds of thousands of bullshit jobs to survive that there will be a shortage of care for the elderly.

    I find your argument in good faith, and quite reasonable, but respectfully disagree. Have you ever taken care of a bedridden elderly who can’t feed themselves? I have. It’s brutal on the patient and the caregiver. There is no quality of life. It’s unnatural. It’s often physically painful and emotionally devastating. Wanna see some pics of bedsores? I bet you don’t.

    It’s a fundamental part of why I’m pleading for a compassionate MAID option for volunteers. Our societies’ desire to cling to life at any cost is what’s cruel and unusual. Give people a compassionate out and they will take it. Those who don’t want to are fine, regardless of sociopolitical systems in place.
