Disgusting. Contrast this with a similar story in the news of a 103 year old Italian.

The US treats its most elderly citizens as meat for the slaughter. In the future, when dystopian fiction writers reach for metaphors about true evil, they won't write retellings of german nazis or things like the Sith, it'll all be based on the late American empire.
