Maine’s Health Department Rarely Investigates When Residents Wander Away From Their Care Facilities
Elopement — when a resident wanders out of a care home — is a real risk, particularly for people with dementia. But in the vast majority of cases in the state, the facilities are never inspected and rarely sanctioned.
You're viewing part of a thread.
Here’s how your answer sounds to me:
“I would rather pay hundreds of thousands of dollars to waste people’s time wiping my ass long after I’ve lost my mind than help future generations and my loved ones by passing away at a moment of my choosing.”
So you haven't heard of insurance?
It sounds like you haven’t heard of insurance. It’s not free or magical. Someone has to pay for it, and afterwards that money has to be wasted doing exactly what I described. Money and manpower that could have been spent doing literally anything else, such as feeding hungry children or saving the rainforest.
You’re essentially setting aside cash NOT for your loved ones or in service to some worthy cause, but to keep your mindless body alive.
Ah, I see. Kill myself when I'm old to help the economy.
I think I've heard of that somewhere before...
Keeping your mindless body alive helps the economy just fine. Money gets spent either way. What you aren’t helping is your loved ones or hungry children or the rainforest or whatever it is that you care about — which I’m rapidly realizing is nothing at all. You care about nothing but your own self.
Do explain how my wife and I not paying a small amount a month toward long-term care insurance will help save the rainforest. This should be interesting.
A small amount you can be saving for your kids, or for actual worthy causes.
People like you are why this world is ending. You’re a selfish nihilist who loves no one and cares about nothing and can’t even articulate why he’s alive. Grotesque.
Look, I get that you really want me to commit suicide, but it isn't going to happen.
Hey, you’re the mindless husk here. I don’t expect you to do anything purposeful. Morality is for losers amirite?
Insulting me is also not going to get me to commit suicide, sorry.
Yes, I have dementia because you think my wife and I not spending about $1000 a year on long-term care insurance would make a major impact in the world.
That wouldn’t be enough to cover care for dementia, meaning someone else will be footing that bill if you get sick. You’re deluded and narcissistic.
Again, I get that you really, really want me to kill myself, but I'm just not going to.
I see we’ve reached the end of your programming. Got an error code.
