On Ageing

Do you realize that people who were driven into homelessness and suicide will not sympathize with these retirement home dwellers. No matter how you describe their plights of having inadequate care in these facilities. They have homes, food and even employed some carers to take care of them. Money wasted on people who are soon to die anyway.

Dude who sleeps on a bench or in his car having it worse.

Dude who killed himself to avoid homelessness unfortunately will not be able to retire at all.

When I see plight of my Generation, which is hell a lot worse that boomers in retirement homes, I am filled with anger.

Yet government wastes money on these retirement homes.

Would you say that some fossil who will still die in 5 or so years deserve this life and care more that anyone who killed themselves, unable to put up with all that shit in the world.

I can only have one kind of mercy to these retirement home dwellers: euthanasia. They had their lives. They lived them however they wanted. Now the time has come for them to retire to the after life and give way to younger people.

People normally do not live that long. Medieval Kings only lived to something like 55, Ancient Egyptians only to 30. They are senile precisely because nature do not intend them to live this long. People do not even suppose to live past 60 to 70

Healthcare should not be used to keep dying people alive, it should only be used on those who are young enough to fully recover.

It should not be available past 65 years old, for people who can only survive with constant external care.

However euthanasia should be available so that they can die fast and painless death, with dignity.

Some of them did good, some did bad. May be those who done something good deserve a cenotaph (only after they died), similar to those who died in two World Wars so that others could live.

People praise the Greatest Generation (1900 - 1926, soldiers of WWII) precisely because they died for out future. They built it for us. They deserve this high moniker.

People hate boomers (1946-1964) because instead they destroy our future so that they can cling to their shitty lives for another couple of years.

US boomers dodged Vietnam War and let people like Pol Pot take over in Cambodia. Vietnam War was also about Cambodia and Laos.
