MissConstrueThe founder of the <a href="https://mefi.social/tags/BlackPanthers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#BlackPanthers</a> did not endorse Trump, rather he was a victim of elder abuse by an absolutely soulless glory vampire who snuck into a care facility to make a tape with him. “Eric Jones said his grandfather David Hilliard, a founding Black Panther member, was the victim of "senior abuse" and wasn't fully aware of what was going on when he was interviewed by a woman named Carol D. Mitchell.”Of course the fascist Murdoch network of publications was first out of the gate to report that “See, Black folks like Trump, even though he uses the N word commonly and often.”Disinformation is real. <a href="https://jackson.binnews.com/content/2024-06-05-ex-black-panther-member-doesnt-support-trump-has-dementia-grandson-says/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://jackson.binnews.com/content/2024-06-05-ex-black-panther-member-doesnt-support-trump-has-dementia-grandson-says/</a><a href="https://mefi.social/tags/elderabuse" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#elderabuse</a> <a href="https://mefi.social/tags/fakenews" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#fakenews</a> <a href="https://mefi.social/tags/carolMitchell" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#carolMitchell</a> <a href="https://mefi.social/tags/DavidHilliard" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#DavidHilliard</a>

Jonathan KamensNew hot take after spending countless hours going through years of accumulated paperwork at my elderly uncle's: every mailing that is an advertisement should be required by law to have the words "this is an advertisement" printed on both sides of the envelope or postcard, with FTC enforcement power. The quantity of deceptive, time-wasting mailings my uncle has received is appalling. This simple law would fix that. <a href="https://federate.social/tags/ElderAbuse" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ElderAbuse</a> <a href="https://federate.social/tags/scams" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#scams</a> <a href="https://federate.social/tags/JunkMail" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#JunkMail</a> <a href="https://federate.social/tags/advertising" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#advertising</a>

Chuck Darwin“You have your nail techs and tennis pros — their business is not so good and they want something more lucrative and they’re jumping into guardianship,” Palmieri said. But adding an independent monitor from outside the court, a frequent recommendation, is expensive. “The system would be cured, in my opinion, by the Department of Elder Affairs taking responsibility for guardianship” said Burke, the Pinellas clerk. In Florida, even funding a statewide guardianship database was a battle. 👉Currently, there isn’t an official number of how many people are in them; best estimates are around 50,000. Each county keeps its own records, and some do that better than others. When the database goes online, it will give the first statistical snapshot of the system. Critics have called for a uniform system with more oversight. But several Florida officials said those who benefit from the current, complex system, including lawyers, impede reform. 👉Efforts to make attorneys’ fees in these cases more publicly visible have also failed. “There are a lot of great attorneys out there,” Burke said. But the court clerk said there has been pushback from the Real Property, Probate and Trust Law section of the Florida Bar Association, adding, ♦️“It’s a trade union for all practical purposes, and it protects their members and the fees they receive.”♦️ These attorneys are influential in the state house where their expertise is often sought to draft laws related to guardianships and estates. <a href="https://c.im/tags/guardianship" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#guardianship</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/elderabuse" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#elderabuse</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/greyrights" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#greyrights</a>

Chuck DarwinWhat happened to Hulse over the last three years shines a light on the serious flaws in this government system and on the hospital pipeline that thrust Hulse into it. During the coronavirus pandemic, more hospitals went to court to seek guardianships; 👉it was a way to legally move out patients and free up beds. Today, the practice quietly continues as an efficient way to discharge elderly patients who cost hospitals money the longer they stay. 🔥“This should scare people to death,” 🔥said Rick Black, the founder of the Center for Estate Administration Reform who has examined thousands of guardianship cases and has seen a rise in hospitals initiating them. “This is a common practice nationwide, and its adoption is growing. <a href="https://c.im/tags/guardianship" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#guardianship</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/elderabuse" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#elderabuse</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/grayrights" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#grayrights</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/estateadministration" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#estateadministration</a>

Chuck DarwinThe retired pilot went to the hospital. Then his life went into a tailspin. A hospital can be liable if a patient is discharged into an unsafe environment. Because Hulse lived alone and the hospital officials saw no sign that he had family, that put them in a bind when his health didn’t improve. So they argued in court that he was no longer capable of making his own decisions and needed a guardian — a caretaker with enormous legal power. When a judge agreed, Hulse lost basic freedoms: 🔸He couldn’t spend his own money or decide where to live. 🔸The lifelong Republican who had just cast his ballot in the 2020 presidential primary 👉even lost his right to vote. He was quickly moved to a nursing home. His new guardian, 🔥a woman he had never met, began selling his house and his belongings🔥.<a href="https://c.im/tags/grayrights" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#grayrights</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/guardianship" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#guardianship</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/elderabuse" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#elderabuse</a> <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2023/11/04/florida-guardianship-investigation-safeguards/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2023/11/04/florida-guardianship-investigation-safeguards/</a>
