We saw a nice dose of this in the US during the height of the pandemic when people didn’t care if the elders died. How they are useless, vapid and have no purpose, by definition. “Get out of the way, make room for me, a younger person”. Our elders! Remember?? I do.

ANY one who is less desirable was thrown to the curb and is still being thrown to the during this current pandemic... Old or Disabled . it does not matter. The lens of others see it as the same... an inconvenience...

(American born & raised here.) I have a bonus mom in her late seventies with Long COVID. She's helped hundreds of kids over the years in various ways. I've known her since I was 17; I was one of the last kids she helped. I'm the only one who's kept in touch. I check in every day.

As I watch my parents age, and remember my grandparents aging before them, and as I age myself. The ageism in the US annoys me more and more. Especially because the people espousing it seem to imagine that they’re somehow immune to time.
