Started out as a Reddit alternative during the blackout from June 12-21, 2023 with over 1k members in just a few days. Fizzled faster than the "I Didn't Do It" kid after a month until it became the internet's Centralia in less than a year.

Yup. Buried underneath most of the "ReTiReMeNt PlAn nG mAgUlAnG" circle jerk is the sad reality that retirement homes are not a thing here, and that it costs upwards to 1 million annually per person (looking at RainTree at least).
yung elderly care ba? I know I shouldn't generalize but imo nursing homes here are shit, especially kung wala ng pambayad yung pamilya ng matanda (and even if may pambayad)
Money talks talaga. Nag ojt ako dati sa nursing home and even the basic necessities hindi nainibigay ng maayos. Yung ibang mga nagtatrabaho dun, pinagttripan pa nila yung mga matatanda kaya ang ending nag aagitate yung mga elderly.
