Summary
Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick claimed that most seniors would not complain if Social Security checks were missed, suggesting that only “fraudsters” would object.
His remarks sparked backlash as Social Security is a critical income source for millions, including 15% of women and 12% of men over 65 who rely on it for 90% of their income.
Amid rising concerns, Maryland Judge Ellen Lipton Hollander criticized acting SSA head Lee Dudek for threatening to cut IT access, escalating fears of disruptions.
I refute your statement that “without profit these institutions would not exist”.
Profit is what you get after every expense is paid. Caretakers, building maintenance, etc. Are expenses. People would still get paid.
Leeches on the other hand… those “investors” who buy up assisted living places and force them to be “profitable”… they should not be allowed to gain off the increased suffering of people.
In a perfect world.
If what you say could come to pass then we’d never see another mental health institution close. But that is, sadly, not the world we live in.
Sadly, I have to agree with you.
