Settler logics inform the way older people, and let's talk about this country, are viewed and treated. A lot of what I write about is sort of my own experience as a caregiver,. First for my mom who passed in 2014 and now for my father who is 95 years old. But I see similar kinds of logics. There's a logic of erasure. So there becomes a moment in an older adults life, older person's life. And when it didn't seem possible or certainly not palatable for the democratic state to get rid of older people, although in the pandemic, I don't think any of us will forget those piled tight corpses in nursing homes
