Don't let republicans fool you with their national populism cause they do not give a single care for veterans who died and suffered for America. They would hollow out the VA and fill it corporate and political stooges who would blindly follow the GOP's bidding. Our government doesn't care enough for veterans and here we have Republicans confirming it, remember it was Biden who passed the CARE act. So remember a future where our soldiers suffer more than they already do is what the Republicans want.

I'm just kinda raw right now
I reached out to my local DNC to see how I can help and use my platform to inform the community about the people they want us to vote for.
It didn't go well. I was talked to like a child, I'm 33. But the part that hurt the most, was when she told me I don't care about the same issues she does as a boomer.
My mom did hospice care when I was a child. When I was old enough to remember things, I was put in the same bed as my end of life great grandfather who was suffering from extreme Alzheimer's. I was 5 when my grandfather's mom died. My mom would tell me about her patients and their stuggles and how their last breath left their bodies. I'm so fucking scared I'm going to get Alzheimer's when I'm old because of this. I am fucking terrified. I am actively sobbing while typing this just cause it's the only way I know how to react when talking about this topic. Fuck I sobbed my heart out on stream because Biden sounded too old in an interview.
Like I said, I just feel raw. I do care about the things the elderly care about and just because I'm younger doesn't mean I don't. Stop telling me what I believe in. Tell me why I should vote for you.
Oh and just in case anyone was wondering, it was the lgbtqia+ liaison for South Jersey. They asked me how to get more people interested in their caucus and didn't like my answers.

RELIEF PRINT
In a relief print workshop, I designed and carved a lino based on my father鈥檚 hands when his fingers when they are stretched as far as they can. His hands naturally curve inwards, and I want to embrace this idea and show beauty in it and the result of movement over a long stretch of time. As I鈥檝e been embracing the link between nature and aging, I decided to combine his hands with flowers and leaves.
I drew out the design using a marker, before carving it all out. As this was a two colour reduction print I left the flowers filled. I always find the carving process quite relaxing. I left a lot of the background white so that I could potentially bring these into painting and paint a detailed background.
I used a purple for the first colour, and I actually struggled quite a bit with it. I don鈥檛 know if it was the formula, or if it was somehow the wrong type of ink but it just wasn鈥檛 printing properly which was slightly disheartening, but I still made the most of it and pushed through.
I then carved out the bits I wanted to remain purple and then printed black. I tried to register the two colour prints properly but it wasn鈥檛 easy. The prints came out quite textured with the ink acting a little bit weird, but I think it adds character to each of them.

When it comes to senior care, families often face the decision between home care and assisted living. Each option provides valuable support, but understanding the differences is key to finding the right fit. A home care agency in Tubac, Arizona, offers personalized care in the comfort of a client鈥檚 home, allowing individuals to remain in a familiar environment while receiving assistance with daily tasks. In contrast, assisted living communities offer a more structured setting with on-site staff, catering to residents who may need more supervision.

Oh man wait until you hear about what happens in the forgotten old people warehouses nursing homes. Outright criminal activity. Neglect and fraud. Abuse and indifference. I saw a lot of horror during my clinical career, but some of the worst cases of human suffering, misery, neglect, and abuse came from nursing homes. Bedsores you could lose your wristwatch in. Skin tears the size of envelopes. Broken bones from falls. Diaper rash.
Sometimes, we鈥檇 get a Code Blue from the nursing homes. More than once the victim patient was already stiff and cold when EMS arrived to bring them to the ER, meaning they鈥檇 been dead for quite some time before anyone noticed.
A lot of these elders had nobody to care for them and ended up in shabby facilities through some machinations of fate; others were deliberately stashed there by families who didn鈥檛 want to deal with an old person. These families often show up at the hospital in a whirlwind of aggression and hate driven by guilt; they are often shocked at the decline in the elder鈥檚 health because they鈥檝e been absent from their lives for years. We hide the aging and the dying because aging and death don鈥檛 fit the American narrative of being A Productive Person and we can鈥檛 have that! Acknowledging that people are people even when they鈥檙e not producing anything would undermine the capitalist hellsystem we鈥檙e all stuck in.
Apart from the human suffering of the elderly, the facilities themselves are understaffed to a criminal degree. I mean that literally. A nursing home in my town was recently fined and subsequently shut down by the state when it became clear that almost half of the staff on their payroll were not real people. The administrators literally just put fake names on their rosters and hoped nobody would notice and they got away with it for years.
The nurses and aides who work in these homes are, by and large, trying their level best with an impossible task. There are certainly some who are abusive or cruel on purpose; most of them, I suspect, are simply overwhelmed by impossible situations. When you have one (1) nurse and one (1) aide for 40 or 50 people, things are going to be missed. It is an impossible task.
And it is structured that way on purpose! This is done deliberately by administrators to maximize profit margins. Elder care in the United States is fundamentally an extractive industry: suck as much money out of grandpa as you can and when the well is dry abandon him at the hospital, where they have to take care of him. I worked at a long-term acute care hospital for a time and saw this in action literally every day. Oh, Smith is out of insurance days? Find an excuse to call an ambulance and send him to the ER and find someone new who has insurance days to fill the room. And once we bleed them dry, we鈥檒l start it all over again.
OP is right that elder abuse is a massive and almost completely un-discussed issue in this country. It is shameful how we treat the elderly. It is shameful that we let this happen. We need to do better for our elderly.
there鈥檚 something so sad about how we treat old people nowadays. historically, humans have accomplished so many great things because we valued our elders, took care of them, and gave them meaningful retirement. meanwhile we have seniors aged 60+ working in retail just to survive. can you imagine working your entire life, just to work until you die? in fucking retail?聽
old people are not useless, they鈥檙e not a drain on the economy, and theyre not all bigoted windbags. theyre people! people! who have lived their entire fucking lives under capitalism. they deserve to retire peacefully and pursue their interests during the final years of their lives. they deserve to be taken care of. they deserve to go with dignity.聽
there鈥檚 a hundred things wrong with how society views old people, but i never see anyone talking about it.
