DgarIf you allow a profit to be made from prisoners, then you create a demand for prisoners.

BlinkyBillYeah, that too.
$2,000 a month for all-inclusive retirement living is great unless you don't have $2,000 a month to spend.
I did research for my dad in 2016 when he decided at 91 that he should probably not be living alone anymore.
There are massive disparities in quality of living depending entirely on what one has to spend every month. He had the money, others don't.
A. Tang@RushGirl @dgar This. I just helped move my father into a nursing home in a small, rural town in the northeastern U.S. It’s not a fancy facility in any way (e.g., he shares a small room with one other person, there’s no central air conditioning). The cost is $325 PER DAY out of pocket. My family is fortunate to be able to afford it (for at least a few years) but how many can, especially in the rural U.S.? It’s madness.
Nihl L'Amas@AchillesTang @RushGirl @dgar They are trying to squeeze out every last dollar before you die. And they continue going downhill in service as more greedy companies buy out the previous owner you already called that. We are running out of words as quickly as we are running out of money.

NoctisEqui 🇺🇦🇵🇸🇪🇹🏳️🌈Poverty for elderly women will be increasing exponentially. Since women are paid less than men from the beginning, unless they have access to pension/SS money from husbands, elderly single women are consigned to poverty & squalor. If they are disabled it becomes worse.
Another reason to tear it all down and start over.
That anyone in America is homeless is an utter failure on our part.
We have the resources to house everyone, we just don't have the will.
