Yeah, that’s a good, but depressing, point. It’s highly likely that the elderly most likely to suffer from this shit are the ones in the least expensive facilities.
Even less human contact! Great. Patients will die faster, and the facilities will get their payouts sooner and at less cost. Another win for corporate America.
Yes it is depressing and dystopian and frankly super fucked up.
Which yes, leads to a win for corporate America. Land of the free!! They will remind you.
