I am no more than one major medical event away from losing it all. JFC. I hate it here.

I mean, how much is really enough to "beat" the capitalism system when you get old? We are so F'd.

I follow Alzheimers, stroke groups and the system is setup to take all of these "gains" away from us before we die. By the people who have way more power than me.

To them, I and everyone else must seem like ants. This system sucks. I hate systems based on taking advantage of those less fortunate. Systems based on playing the game of "Screw your neighbor" best.

We really just got lucky. And now we have to keep playing the game to survive. F Capitalism.

There is an intrinsic nature to capitalism that "screws your neighbor" in order to get ahead. I am in a position to somewhat benefit from it, but hate the fucking "screw your neighbor" feel that it has to it.

I can only imagine those that have more than me or have no problem with this system.

You have to have a base to work with, and you have to think like a capitalism asshole to benefit from it. And that just really sucks.

in the market because we are older and happen to have a base to throw some $ at certain stocks. Like, it isn't really fair for the generations behind us that do not have money to invest when they are just trying to survive day to day. And that is what is wrong with this capitalism structure.

Yet, there she was, maskless. I get the pressure to go maskless, but the head nurse was at least masked. The gal asking me questions wouldn't have been alone.

having Covid, or any other illness. You are far more likely to have it than I am. I haven't been sick in 5.5 years, and have never had Covid, but you probably have.

To be honest, I felt a little bad for her because she was required to ask such outdated questions.

The nurse asking the questions is maskless. Holding back an eye roll (or not) I said, no, I am not feeling any flu symptoms because I wore this mask on the plane with no drink or food. And I consistently mask any time I am indoors. To be quite frank, I'm not the one you need to be concerned about

I am in a hospital split top and the only other thing I am wearing is an N-99 Envo mask with the halo strap. Everyone else, except for the head nurse for the procedure, is maskless. The head nurse is in some sort of modified surgical mask with head straps instead of ear loops.
