Maybe you've had a relative who doesn't take very good care of an ancient family member. It's pretty depressing, especially if you can't help, but, still, you figure that the non-caretaker relative is at least related to the ancient family member and, thus, will preserve the ancient family member based on fealty, at least.
But what if there's no one?
How about this? How about we hire some convicts to take care of your ancient family member? Does that invest you with confidence? Who would do that, you might ask?
And the answer is, of course, as it always is, THE GOVERNMENT.
Picture this. The ancient family member, barely getting around, dependent on the ex-con (who has been convicted of both robbery and elder abuse, btw) to provide care. Have you ever seen a predator prowl a vulnerable home? It's pretty creepy and they have pretty good lines for why they are moving from room to room. "Oh, I've never seen that room of the house before!" or "Hey, this is a really pretty house!"
Read about it here at the LA Times. And weep.
This is the government, here to help you.
Health care, anyone?
We areTHE RESISTANCE.
