Let's put all the senior citizens in jail, and the criminals in a nursing home.
This way the seniors would have access to showers, hobbies,and walks, they'd receive unlimited free prescriptions, dental and medical treatment, wheel chairs etc. and they'd receive money instead of paying it out.
They would have constant video monitoring, so they could be helped instantly, if they fell, or needed assistance. Bedding would be washed twice a week, and all clothing would be ironed and returned to them.
A guard would check on them every 20 minutes, and bring their meals and snacks to their cell. They would have family visits in a suite built for that purpose.
They would have access to a library, weight room, spiritual counseling, pool, and education.
Simple clothing, shoes, slippers, P.J.'s and legal aid would be free, on request.
Private, secure rooms for all, with an exercise outdoor yard, with gardens.
Each senior could have a P.C. a T.V. radio, and daily phone calls.
There would be a board of directors, to hear complaints, and the guards would have a code of conduct, that would be strictly adhered to.
The "criminals" would get cold food, be left all alone, and unsupervised. Lights off at 8pm, and showers once a week. Live in a tiny room, pay $5000.00 per month and have no hope of ever getting out.
And for fun and profit, they could file bogus forms to get First Time Home Owner checks for $8000, file for Earned Income Tax Credit and get sizable “refunds” on taxes never paid, and file under multiple Social Security numbers for disability payments that the federal government happily sends to prison addresses. It would really be a cushy life behind bars for the elderly.
Would my wife be able to stay with me?
wow. the blood just drained from my face. Honor your mother and father, and justice, sure has left the building, hasn’t it?
I look for ‘termination’ centers to open for us ole folks, reach a certain age and zap, that is it, the end.
Yeah...sure...right. Better bring plenty of ammo when you start!!
Put them in jail for embezzlement (spending our children's future) and mass murder (legalized abortion).
Obviously extreme. But can the soon-to-be elderly expect the younger generations to take care of them? As a society, I think not.
The soon-to-be elderly should expect their wealth - borrowed, stolen wealth - to be confiscated. As it should be.
Very likely scenario.
Sign me up!
Excellent. Sadly.
I have always kidded my children that my old age plan was to rob a bank when I’m 85 years old so I could live out the rest of my life total care of the “State”.
‘Would my wife be able to stay with me?’
Conjugal visits?
Hey the memory is the second thing to go. I don’t remember the first.
“Hey the memory is the second thing to go. I dont remember the first.”
I think that I am up to number four. Some thing are good to forget but I don’t remember why.
