Right, they keep us alive to milk us dry - and then they send us to "care homes" where we are anesthetized and imprisoned in beds, lest we move around and break a leg - which cuts back on the bottom line of maximum profit. Government pensions and other funds are heavily invested in such enterprises. I would hazard the opinion that the "vulnerability to Covid of the aged" is a myth: the environment killed /is killing them, not Covid. And that is true of many other age cohorts. But life in retirement is supposed to be the best time of your life, a reward of leisure and freedom of life-style choices after a lifetime of sacrifice working your ass off in a boring job, or raising the next generation.
And the lie saturates everything in this neoliberal system about money, and money procreating more money, unrelated to human needs. It's about monopolies and hostile takeovers and OK, You win - I'm screwed. Even the family home concept is being taken over by real estate cartels that buy off homes, upgrade them and monopolize the market, one area at a time. People living in many cities can no longer afford to live in the goddam city. What is that? Mass insanity?
It is way past time to say no, you can't screw me and then expect me to keep smiling while you're about it.
No more rentier economy, monopoly, exorbitant private profit at public expense, and it always is.
We are the majority: let's have no more of it, especially the smiling cooperative part: denunciation, loud and clear is the order of the day.
COVID was an excellent tool for reducing the drain on pension funds and SS/Medicare, the management had to be botched, Capitalism required it to be so.
Well, it's painful to agree with this, it puts you in the terrible "conspiracy theory" category, but considering the needless suffering and the disproportionate numbers of deaths in what is touted as a great democracy, the US, it's difficult not to agree.
