      I interpreted that as elderly who were depressed because they were in bad care facilities.

      So like the bad thing is bad care facilities, or the fact that families don’t have the means to take care of their elderly.

          Yes. They profit off of the service being provided, which is corralling the elderly in a place where others don’t have to be bothered by their existence, essentially “getting rid of them” on the pretense of providing care.

          We exist under capitalism. Everything is presumed to be generating a profit. That’s a requirement under the current system. It is what they are profiting from that is in question.
