      Here’s how your answer sounds to me:

      “I would rather pay hundreds of thousands of dollars to waste people’s time wiping my ass than help future generations and my loved ones by passing away with my mind still intact at a moment of my choosing.”

          It sounds like you haven’t heard of insurance. It’s not free or magical. Someone has to pay for it, and afterwards that money has to be wasted doing exactly what I described. Money and manpower that could have been spent doing literally anything else, such as feeding hungry children or saving the rainforest.

          You’re essentially setting aside cash NOT for your loved ones or in service to some worthy cause, but to keep your mindless body alive.

              Keeping your mindless body alive helps the economy just fine. What it doesn’t help is your loved ones or hungry children or the rainforest or whatever it is that you care about — which I’m now realizing is nothing. You care about nothing but your own self.

                Do explain how my wife and I not paying a small amount a month toward long-term care insurance will help save the rainforest. This should be interesting.

                  A small amount you can be saving for your kids, or for actual worthy causes.

                  People like you are why this world is ending. You’re a selfish nihilist who loves no one and cares about nothing and can’t even articulate why he’s alive. Grotesque.

                    Yes, I have dementia because you think my wife and I not spending about $1000 a year on long-term care insurance would make a major impact in the world.
