Gary's plight is a real bummer for me. I have been active in a nursing home reform movement and been in lots of places just like where Gary is.


I have dealt with the "for profit" lobbyists and lawyers who defend the homes.

A really sad part of our society.

Let's hope Gary gets out of there ASAP!

BINGO
Over and out

We can afford to do both. So typical that you can’t find it in your heart to be sympathetic to the elderly without being unsympathetic to immigrants.

It is backward to any decent person, but decency seems not to be considered in this frothy political environment. VOTES count more, and the poor elderly are but a casualty of war.

I too feel bad for poor Gary. He doesn't deserve this.

Personally, I’d like to challenge anyone on this forum to go to an immigration center, don’t speak a word of English, and see what smartphone they give you, what hospital they give you for free, and post some pictures of the nice housing you get for free…

Or maybe you should just ask yourself why you want to believe that they are being treated better than you? Does it legitimize your xenophobia?

Here’s the ACTUAL truth… what little we spend on immigrants is a drop in the ocean compared to what we give away to huge corporations and billionaires. But you bring up the immigrants rather than billionaires and corporate greed as the cause of why elderly care is so bad.

Ask yourself why you are doing that? Yep… it’s got nothing to do with solving the problem. But it sure makes you feel better about disliking immigrants.

I guess I was wrong; KUM-BA-YAH

Well, I think everyone knows where I stand, but for the good of the forum, I think we should shut this down, at least here on the main forum.

I may have been a bit snarky, but that was my intent by telling a blatant lie.

It’s impossible to discern when someone is telling a blatant lie when half of this country believes 100% in the blatant lies fed to them by the billionaire class.

I wonder if Gary thinks his plight is the result of some immigrant getting somewhere awful to stay in, or the greed of the company and industry that runs his hospice?

Any update on Gary this week?
