State collapse is inevitable when a society’s leaders are insulated from the negative consequences of their bad decisions.

I had not considered this possibility. Imagine not having to be placed in an assisted living facility as your wealth is drained. Imagine not being at the mercy of low skilled workers.
Then again, we may end our lives fighting evil as the nation falls. If I get an Optimus, the first training requirement will be field dressings on the battlefield.
If this worked (and that’s a big if) it would be an outstanding development. I detest assisted living and nursing homes. Under the current business model, they are often owned and operated by private equity firms, their staffing is awful (mostly blacks and third world invaders) who often steal from and abuse the residents, who are mostly helpless to fight back. And as you rightly pointed out, they are designed fully with the intent of draining whatever funds/assets one has, to ensure it’s all gone by the time you drop dead, and leave absolutely nothing to inherit for your next of kin. It is a terrible business in almost every respect.
It is a terrible business full of con artists and poorly paid thus low-grade employees that at least in my area mostly white and never around after about 6 months.
However, it’s a natural result of destroying the family per socialism (and worse). Destroy the family to increase the power of the State.
Bible speaks of treating your father and mother with respect when they are old and feeble. Not tossing them out to the “tender mercies” of others to take care of them until they die off.
One of the great strengths of successful families during the Great Depression was they TOOK CARE OF EACH OTHER. Multi-Generational households kept Grandma watching her grandchildren while everybody who could did ANYTHING to bring some food, firewood, a dab of money for taxes and so on INTO the FAMILY.
Those families that didn’t did things like daddy ran away (not just a Black thing) and Mom with a sign trying to give her children to people with cars because they were “rich”. Folks became homeless and drifters seeking employment anywhere as “Welfare” wasn’t a LIFESTYLE like today.
I wonder if such family strength will be found again when the next Great Depression shows up. Or will the hate boomers and such divisions the powers that BE use to keep We the People divided and fighting each other continue.
Meanwhile we who don’t ignore that we are getting older make plans as mot to be tossed to the “tender mercies” of Elder Care.
Still not sure about the robot though.
Michael, Excellent comment! You hit the nail squarely on its head. I couldn’t agree more.
“… make plans as not to be tossed to the “tender mercies” of Elder Care.” I adopted a plan from the Native Americans. I talked to my son and my sons-in-law. I told them that when the time comes (when I’m no further use to anyone) I intend to take a walk in the woods in the winter, find a nice tree, preferably with a nice view, sit down beneath it and let nature take its course. Just sit there and wait for the cold to do its work.
That’s my plan. We’ll see if I have the courage to carry it out.
Hahaha, you think you’re going to own the robot? Pay once and its yours forever? Like the land your house is on, right?
No.. you will RENT the robot. Bled dry until your dying days. Then the democrats will declare it a human right to hold a robot hand and look into its CCD array while you die, and then they’ll be covered by medicare and given to the illegals and minorities who never worked a day in their life.
Your’s is on a waiting list at the VA.
Yes, and that’s precisely where I see this going. Which is why I began with the qualifier “if this worked (and that’s a big if)”. I have only the slimmest of hope that such an arrangement could or would end up working in favor of anyone but big corporate whores.
Michael is correct that what is needed is a return to a multi -generational family model, but that isn’t coming back for the benefit of any of us reading this. Perhaps, post collapse, such a fundamental shift will be possible in 50+ years. I figure it will take at least two more generations to reach that point, and to “unlearn” the perverted ways that have been forced upon us over the last 2-3 generations. I’ll be long dead before that state of affairs ever comes to pass.
