It is within the nature of financial capitalism (I stress financial) to treat its members of the society primarily as consumers, NOT as citizens. Therefore, it makes sense that life in long term care land is a good life only for the most wealthy of private pay consumers. In addition, the modern philosophy of post progressive, trans humanism coupled with climate change has elements of eugenics. iI you are productive, then you are OK, if you cease, then bye bye. There are too many people on earth, so.... Isn't it interesting to read more and more geriatrics writing that the best age to die is 75. After, it is only downhill. Thank you for another great reflexion.

We judge a society on how it treats its (not it's) elders.
