The nursing homes that charge $3,500 a month and run like 1 or 2 staff members 12 hours a night and then call the fire department in if someone needs a lift assist off the floor? Those capitalist cesspools need a massive reorganization.

[–] DoucheBagMcSwag@lemmy.dbzer0.com 14 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Wow...and most nursing home residents I'm sure voted for this

Whomp

Fucking

Whomp.

Disadvantaged old people in nursing homes are about to lose their healthcare, bankrupt their families, and die horrible deaths.

It's not whomp whomp unless you are a sociopath.

Billionaires are to blame. This is a class war. I don't want to sacrifice human beings for tax cuts regardless of how they may have voted.

Nope. They made their bed, now it's time to deal with it and get their faces eaten

They had plenty of warning signs. The same goes for those voted for the GOP yet are being deported.

They knew these policies would hurt people and didn't care, they just thought that they wouldn't be the ones hurt and were the protected ones

Elections have fucking consequences.

You act like 100% of old people voted trump. They favored him 52 to 47 according to the AARP.

I understand you are angry, but just being blindly mad at a group of people due to prejudice and stereotyping is not ok. It's exactly what the Republicans are doing with trans and brown people. You are no better than them.

This is going to be especially interesting once Republicans of retirement age realize that 'no Medicare' means them, too.

I should set up a MAGA crowdfunding or only fans-type site for seniors and get a cut, which I'll donate to worthy causes.

[–] Pyr_Pressure@lemmy.ca 0 points 9 hours ago

By then a Democrat will be president and it will be all their fault

"...but the libs got pwnd."

[–] Lemminary@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

Murica using tactical nukes to own the libs be like...

[–] ayyy@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 day ago

It’s obama’s fault for some reason.

[–] Lucky_777@lemmy.world 24 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Guess MAGA can move their elderly family back in. It's what God would want of course.

[–] mic_check_one_two@lemmy.dbzer0.com 14 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Joke’s on us: The elderly are the MAGA. They’ll just expect their millennial children to support them again, by insisting that they move in.

[–] Lucky_777@lemmy.world 8 points 1 day ago

Yep. I see my mom in the same boat. But she voted for Trump. So consequences of actions. Have no room, money or patience for someone to come into my home and sit around watching right-wing propaganda, while living off the charity of others. She'll have to go to her MAGA sisters for that.

[–] HeyJoe@lemmy.world 7 points 1 day ago

We're gonna need more laws against the homeless soon. About to be a whole lot more to deal with. Can't tolerate that /s.

[–] MyOpinion@lemmy.today 8 points 1 day ago

Grandma gets to live on the street. GOP dreams do come true after all.

[–] Almonds@mander.xyz 25 points 1 day ago

Ironic because quite a few of those that voted for this would be in nursing homes if they weren't politicians

[–] disguy_ovahea@lemmy.world 16 points 1 day ago (1 children)

There are also 700 hospitals in rural areas that are in danger of closing from the cuts. The funny thing about EMTALA, is that it doesn’t apply to urgent care facilities, which is why they’re popping up everywhere. It’s far more profitable for corporations to be legally allowed to let you die from non-treatment if you’re uninsured.

Oh yeah! I can't wait for MAGA to find out who the "lazy video game playing mooch" ,that fox always brought, up really is!

[–] callouscomic@lemmy.zip 14 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Does it include that nursing home we call the Capitol?

[–] MuskyMelon@lemmy.world 8 points 1 day ago (1 children)

What a protest that would be. Thousands of the elderly affected wearing nursing gowns and marching like it's the day of the dead against their representatives.

[–] madlian@lemmy.cafe 9 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Humorous as that zombie horde sounds, most of them aren’t capable and will just be put on the street where they will die within 6 months.

[–] Lucky_777@lemmy.world 8 points 1 day ago

6 months is optimistic. I worked in a nursing home for 5 years. They would last 3 months tops. Dementia side would last weeks.
