Yeah, I agree with everything you said.

What a fucking nightmare.

Uh, he needs 24/7 care, most of which I provide at present (I have to, ya know, work fulltime for food, utility bills and health insurance for medications).

Despite your anger, I hope you do not end up in a situation like this. Enjoy, "freedom" while you can, it disappears in a variety of circumstances.

Cool, take care of my father with Alzheimer's and I will get right to that.

Good luck with his medical bills, I promise you, they are a struggle.

Especially when most people have some variation of, "I am going to work myself to death now for a comfortable later" burned into their head from generation after generation of parents.

The, "No Kings" protests basically accomplished nothing beyond a, "neat statistic", in my opinion.

Most people are tuned out, my worksite has 1000+ people at it, no one is talking about this stuff, ever. I am a bit, most people do not care, do not want to risk doing something or have shit going on in their personal lives that take priority.

Anyone critical should do themselves a favor and watch the 1961 film, "Judgment at Nuremberg". The USA judges' servants, when asked if they knew about concentration camps initially denied it. Then, seconds later (paraphrasing), "Even if we did, we are but little people, what could we do?".

P.S. Down voting doesn't change stated reality, sorry.

I have been saying for years he is going to donate Alaska to Russia...and now this.

I should not be, but I am entirely astonished right now, lol.

 

Tensions continue to rise across the entire middle east.
