The most fucked up part of all of this is that we’re discussing nursing homes like it’s fucking normal to lock up your own goddamn family in a strange place full of horrifying abuse at the end of their lives.
This is a uniquely American brain rot that has spread worldwide. Capitalism has eroded the family dynamic so badly that we discard our elderly like trash and kick kids out at 18.
This is not normal in the entire rest of the world.
Not everyone is equipped to deal with their elderly relatives, who may have medical issues that require trained care 24/7.
There is absolutely a need for facilities that provide this service.
There are also issues with allowing these facilities to be run as for profit enterprises.
This is true. So much of the “assault on the nuclear family” , it’s really just based in it being incredibly impractical and bad for virtually everyone involved.
