      They are not old, they are economically inactive. Hmm, I can see it becoming a thing…

        And we have no more old people in this country. No more old people. We shipped them all away and we brought in these senior citizens

        […]

        Well, I’m getting old and it’s okay because thanks to our fear of death in this country I won’t have to die. I’ll pass away or I’ll expire like a magazine subscription.

        What happens in the hospital. They’ll call in the terminal episode, the insurance company will refer to it as a “negative patient care outcome” and if it’s the result of malpractice they’ll say it was a therapeutic misadventure.

        I’m telling you some of this language makes me wanna vomit. Well, maybe not vomit. It makes me want to engage in an involuntary personal protein spill.

      Being able to look forward to terms like “economically inactive” and “unretirement” makes being classified “biologically inactive” and “unalive” seem better and better, here and now.
