Normalizing what this will undoubtedly become is what this "pre-purchase" spin tactic is all about: if you're not the one choosing words to share with your elders, someone else is — and that "someone" will be told/programmed per cutting-edge profit-focused forecasting, etc.

Get ready for deeper fleecing of the elderly that even the elder "care" industry can't reliably get away with these days. 🤢🤦🏼‍♂️

They're not yet coming after you, personally.

Yet.
