The elderly are just the wrapper on Social Security’s package of benefits.

“The World According to Doctrine” — “Let’s share what we’ve got of yours . . .”
“We can share what we got of yours, ’cause we done shared all of mine” — Grateful Dead. “Jack Straw”
While much is made of sharing out Social Security and the benefits of a lifetime of toil – we are living in a time that is notably lacking in togetherness and empathy.
Once we pass the threshold of our giving; we reach a deserted plateau indifference – where even the cries of our COVID “die off” are sucked into non-existence.
Our sharing is a Millennial Judgement – the expiation of some kind of Doctrinal “Original Sin” – a giving of tribute: a recognition of superiority.
Maybe their sharing would reduce their perfection by some small amount – or acknowledgement of us would make them unclean.
They won’t even share the time to try to understand.
“The World According to Doctrine” — “769,656 Elderly COVID deaths” Bumper sticker
When you’re disposable; there’s always a reason for not doing anything to help. It’s just another untold story – that is telling in its absence.
Authorities could have warned seniors that if they felt threatened; they should temporarily change their will and inform the beneficiaries – but that might cause problems: when you’re disposable; you’re not a victim. Shhhhhh . . .
“The World According to Doctrine” — “The elderly are no longer a source of wisdom” Bumper sticker
Elderly COVID deaths for inheritance – unreported and un-prevented. With 750,000 people over the age of 65 dying from the COVID virus, and the current entitlement mind-set in the country — do you really believe it’s not happening?
Government and the media [and AARP] don’t want to upset them — isn’t that the same as animals in a slaughter house?
The elderly have been targeted for use; until they’re all used up. Then it will be someone else’s turn . . .
“All Roads Lead to Cornithaca” – “Disposable Old Folks” Icons
“Everyone’s disposable” – except those who decide. It’s a motto that openly hides the truth: If it’s not you – you may be next. There are no lives greater than the Greater Good – except those who decide.
Like all predators: they go for the old, weak, and infirmed . . . first. The distant howling is getting closer.
“All Roads Lead to Cornithaca” – “COVID” Road signs
We’re not out of the woods yet — but we’re on the highway. It’s a good time to remember where we’ve been.
“All Roads Lead to Cornithaca” – 2022: “The elderly demographic” Bumper sticker
“2022: The elderly are no longer a deserving demographic.” — they’re hardly even a statistic.
Just as unborn children are no longer human beings under New York’s Progressive lawmaking; the state’s elderly have been shunted into a position of voiceless helplessness . . . and hopelessness — a caricature of fragility; under the synthetic smile of an indifferent bureaucracy.
While colleges clamor ever more loudly for aging alumni to give and bequeath: how many have reached out to help those alumni in their isolation and disconnection?
The Silence of the Virus – the voice of compassion stilled.
“All Roads Lead to Cornithaca” – “Rise of the Evil Ones” – Form Based Evil – COVID Room
“Exposed!” It could be the headline for a Pandemic story that can’t be written. Compassion is no longer a human feeling; it’s a marketing tool. Say “pandemic” and “compassion” together and a picture of a smiling health care worker or first responder appears. Victims are no more than an object — the messy collateral of societal policies and problems.
The elderly did the dying; and there was silence instead of crying. Instead: the Media lamented that kids had to stay at home and play Xbox and text each other; rather than visit their friends and play Xbox and text each other. Our elderly are looked on as an object of the past – put on a display shelf – and minimally cared for to retain their catalog value. They’re a piggy bank waiting to be smashed open — so don’t live too long and disappoint the kids.
Somewhere in our money-changing maze; bureaucrats are gleefully rubbing their hands together and thinking of all the Social Security payments they can keep. But that’s another story . . .
“All Roads Lead to Cornithaca” – “Who’s Your Grandad” Bumper Sticker
Maybe it’s time to change up the societal role of our elderly citizens. The mild, smiling, grandkid doting role got us no respect, compassion, or vaccine availability when the Pandemic hit.
With the current sense of entitlement; and with the easy and available COVID solution: it’s certain that many inheritances were hastened with human intervention — murder — but this media plum is nowhere to be found.
It’s not smart to play us. They did the lying; we did the dying. This last election taught the lesson that if you’re not confrontational: you’re nothing. It’s time to step out of your AARP boxes and shake up things again.
