6. Vulture capitalism has gone into everything
Wed Feb 1, 2023, 02:26 PM

The facility I'm in is owned by one of those umbrella companies, the umbrella protecting only the fat cat major shareholders. Fortuneatly, I don't need much, just rides to my doctor appointments and the like. If I hadn't gone blind, I'd have stayed in my own disaster of a home. I can see some of the places they're cutting corners, though.

I have a one bedroom apartment that costs less than half as much as a single room for my dad would have cost 20 years ago in Florida, so I can't complain much. The scent of pot smoke in the halls late at night is telling me this is where I need to be.
