YAWKEY— For more than two years, Helen Swire Comer put her own life on hold.The Lincoln County resident quit her job managing a bank to care for her aging parents, who wanted to spend their final years at home instead of in a nursing facility.Her nights were often interrupted by emergency room visit...
If they think the red states are goijng to learn any lessons at all, they will be sorely mistake.
Also, the real pain starts after mid-terms when grandmas medicade and medicare run out. Have fun moving grammy into your trailerhouse fucking red state losers.
I’v been watching this with something almost approaching glee.
A lot of the polling places in my red state are in nursing home lobbies. This means it is much, much easier for Ida amd Gertrude to come downstairs and vote strait republican, so they can get Ike into office or something. Some of them have no idea who they are voting for, or worse they see trimp as a towering intellect because he talks exactly like they do.
These people can vote without even going outside. The rest of us have to deal with bosses not letting people vote, or traffic, or no vehicle to get to a polling place, or any number of barriers that a senile old person in a nursing home won’t have to deal with.
My glee comes from the fact that they are voting themselves homeless. Their children don’t have a trailer. They may have a 2 bedroom apartment. They cannot take care of their elderly relatives, or worse, they are already caring for another. There just isn’t any room for them, there isnt anyone to care for them. Everyone has to work.
By and large, the people in the nursing homes voted for this.
