Listen like anyone with a sense of humor. I think The Golden Girls is funny. However I find the reality of a generation that refuses to forfeit property or forfeit power and control over others just terrible. We are living in an exceptional time for advanced aging and a terrible time to be a young adult.
‘Ooo you guys can’t run a government. Most of your lives are a mess.” Suzanne Duma a geriatric on Millennials. Maybe our lives wouldn’t be a mess? If we smacked you out of power.
They won’t Forfeit property
In a world where Old people take ownership of disproportionate amounts of property? Well how do we expect to incentivize young people to do the productive work that needs to get done? Including by the way…. Wiping the old people’s A*** ! We call Belleville an elderly community and I think that is a mistake. They can’t work the hard jobs and they can’t bring the community to a healthy prosperous future. Yet we let the profit off property or use their property as a means of harassing young people contributing to the community. In many parts of Belleville they are trying to say they are entitled to volunteers. If Elderly people want help? They should have to pay for it. Or payment should be provided. We aren’t going to do it out of the goodness of our Conservative hearts.
Power and control over others
It is not ‘Oh they are elderly they have no idea what they are doing. No! She is making a hostile workplace for the person attempting to manage their living situation. This cause respecting your elders has created a delusional state of mind. I like to snap elderly people out of it. Remind them that technically they are vulnerable. At anytime broader society can turn that vulnerability against them.
My neighbor attempts to control what I can do in and around my house. I have decided to scream at her! Listen you don’t get to control your neighbors and use this place as your own personal retirement home. If you require community living? You need to be getting that elsewhere. No passive aggressive notes, no dictating what others do in their living spaces, no spying on your neighbors and no gatekeeping. Power is not your’s.
Exceptional time to be elderly and a terrible time to be a young adult.
https://www.frasermorrisheubner.com/obituary/Tiernan-Peever – I always come back to this. Young adult deaths are up. Young adult injuries well working for geriatric bosses are up. It is time for them to stop hogging resources, help and lording power over everyone. We are past ‘Respect your elders.” Welcome to the age of respecting the dignified or those trying to have dignity.
I like Golden Girls as much as the next Non-Binary Person. The Geriatric racists and nosy old lady neighbors? Can go to hell! There are more people to help in Belleville Ontario than just our elders. Working in this community should mean you get to have equity in it. Even if it means kicking Pensioners out on the streets.
More Nightmare elderly!
This woman killed her husband.
92 year old woman shoots son. Cause he was planning as he should. To put her in an elderly home. Now he had advanced age to. Her care should not of been his sole responsibility. We don’t owe this to our parents!
How Old people Gaslight common sense issues? Is another reason to be upset with the state of age based culture in North America. Now I have always said old people don’t have super powers. Just don’t give them civility and then they don’t dominate the conversation. Say ‘Shut up boomer!” Or ‘Shut up old man!” Cause if we want to make a change for harm reduction. We need not treat their voice with respect. Again older people do not have gaslighting super powers we just hold them in high regard for no reason.
Underneath it all is a feeling of despair. I wanted to get married and have a family when I was younger. All I have gotten to experience is market crashes, climate catastrophe, a plague & a world that holds old culture in much too high esteem. Overall as a 30 year old heading down the childless & never married path. I just feel robbed. Not in a way where I go crazy and attack people with a van. I am not that Kind of Autistic. Just in the way where I look at the older generation and say ‘You took too much from us. I resent you for that.”
