I should leave the inside-irony out sometimes, and bring things down to earth. I would of course be willing to do that....

However I do feel that the content of this post should be broadcast to a wider audience. Given that, I wonder if you'd be willing to write a more direct, general-audience version of this blog? It would be less entertaining for the cynical surgeons of the world (like me) but it would expose a more general audience to the excellent critique and bowel-twisting irony of this piece.

I am just observing... cynically.... because I believe the day when we are all destitute and powerless to affect change are fast approaching. Some very smart people I greatly respect are insisting that this is a fait accompli and we are just tinkering with the placement of the cheese in our virtual mouse trap.... perhaps....Margalit Gur-Ariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08777722834145614546noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3503957686158274288.post-39281755384030717532014-07-23T11:42:38.111-05:002014-07-23T11:42:38.111-05:00Margalit, this is inspired. I can imagine someone ...Margalit, this is inspired. I can imagine someone reading it closely with a straight face, no clue what you are talking about. I'm reminded of a Twitter message I saw just yesterday.<br />"Medical credit cards seem like a great way to go into debt while making your doctor money."<br />https://twitter.com/JeffYoung/status/491302003578916864<br /><br />Looks like a growth sector to me. There's a monster in the closet, of course, to which you allude toward the end -- the onset of old age. For those not part of the aristocracy, the most promising retirement plan seems to be that which leads to destitution about the time long-term care is needed. <br /><br />I'm putting it up at Facebook to see if anyone gets it Johnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11858939352263715787noreply@blogger.com
