To be fair we do live too long. Rotting in our failing bodies while we lose who we are is a fate worse than death. All to keep Republicans in power and scammers rich.
Some countries actually care about their people and provide free, government funded healthcare. You could vote and write to your politicians in ways that support implementing that into your area.
Have you missed the part where fascism has taken over the US, in spite of the millions of us who tried to stop it in the polls, only to have a slightly larger number get duped into believing that the fascists will fix the price of eggs and that would make the horror okay? Or before that even how the rich have managed to convince so many of us of the lie that government run healthcare was not only socialism/communism (dirty words here) would ruin our healthcare system and we’d be forced to sit and wait for months or years for necessary procedures and die on the waiting list, or that the government will just flat out decide it was time for you to die through “death panels”?
There are plenty of us who have been fighting for this our whole lives, maybe hold off on that “removed ass attitude” bullshit for us just pointing out that we don’t actually have power here.
You and others who hold this idea fail to understand a certain facet of society: there are those around you who want you around, and are willing to care for you, even with your infirmities.

Living too long is NOT the same as not having adequate care in old age.
OK. So if you’re one of the VERY few lucky people to have amazing healthcare then sure… Live forever. Most of us don’t so what do we do?

I do vote, but this is America. I have no real power.
Not with that removed ass attitude.

This country has more than enough money to take care of the elderly, the disabled, the veterans, the poor.
The problem is the fucking billionaires and their insatiable greed.

I think you’d be surprised how many of us truly have no one. I’m lucky but I have known others who never were.
I understand it all too well. I’m taking about professionals.
