The exact same thing would happen in California. Assisted living facility owners are crooks.

Kinda sounds like a win-win for her when you think about it. The state isn't gonna stick her in high security prison, more like minimum security, so it's basically just a retirement home but this time she doesn't have to pay rent, and under the 8th amendment, prisons in the US are required to provide medical care to inmates (it's not always the best care, but they do get it), which isn't actually the case with poorly funded or greedy retirement homes.

There comes a point when you're old enough that going to prison is actually a better alternative to retirement homes, because a retirement home will actually take your assets so you have no wealth to pass down to your kids, but a prison doesn't do that. if you go into prison as an elderly person, your house is still yours, your bank accounts are still yours, you just can't access them while you're in prison.

David Graber suggests in Debt: The First 5000 Years, that the way you get someone to do something truely awful to another human is to hang a debt over their head so they feel that someone else is making them do it.

Why not gas her? It worked for the nazis.

[-] Agent641@lemmy.world 5 points 3 days ago

And waste good gas? Just throw her alive into the mass grave, and stack bodies on top like ~~we~~ they did in Bosnia.

A place for for news, discussion, memes, and links criticizing capitalism and advancing viewpoints that challenge liberal capitalist ideology. That means any support for any liberal capitalist political party (like the Democrats) is strictly prohibited.

A zero-tolerance policy for bigotry of any kind. Failure to respect this will result in a ban.

RULES:

1 Understand the left starts at anti-capitalism.

2 No Trolling

3 No capitalist apologia, anti-socialism, or liberalism, liberalism is in direct conflict with the left. Support for capitalism or for the parties or ideologies that uphold it are not welcome or tolerated.

4 No imperialism, conservatism, reactionism or Zionism, lessor evil rhetoric. Dismissing 3rd party votes or 'wasted votes on 3rd party' is lessor evil rhetoric.

5 No bigotry, no racism, sexism, antisemitism, homophobia, transphobia, ableism, or any type of prejudice.

6 Be civil in comments and no accusations of being a bot, 'paid by Putin,' Tankie, etc. This includes instance shaming.
