Unpaid caregiving IS work. you fool! We all know that people (like our mothers) spent decades caring for loved ones unpaid and that they are told "they do nothing." GAH!.
1. They usually have to live under their loved one's income in order to be able to do it, sheesh you entitled weasel!
2.You grew up with maids and mansions, you have no idea what a financial sacrifice it is and how much is being saved for that unpaid work is, you ignorant freak!.
3. Do you know that unpaid caregiving is considered "Zero income" as a Social Security consideration? Meaning if you spent decades caring for them, SS is not going to pay you a single cent when or if the one from whom you lived on as both your wages, if they die or no longer need you.
3. Do you know, you rat penis eating SOB that even when you have paid work outside the home, on the average as most women do, they LOSE over $450,000 over a work lifetime from perfoming unpaid labor?
4. If all those "free" services given were paid, it would average almost $200,000 a year after considering all the professional care, from chauffer service, cooking, cleaning, nursing, and all the other chores regularly done.
5. If we were to build institutions so everybody can go out there and make rich men richer saying, "Do you want fries with that,"it would cost at least a $$$trillion to build, facilitate, and then pay everybody to do that work, you freaking dummass!
6. After all that work, as many are, they find their nice college degrees mean nothing for employment when they are considered too old to hire unless it is for minimum wage jobs ~ if that.
I have worked in transitional housing and I can tell you I never saw so many middle aged women living in their cars after their loved one dies and after everything is settled financially, they are the last considered and end up on the street. I wondered why that was, but after hearing their stories almost to a "T" it came down to having caregiving taken away reduced them to living in their cars after doing that unpaid that work. . .
Give me a break you GD turncoat freak!
