USA-style capitalism also opens up the following possibility:
when you get to be eighty-five years old you can be living in
your own home, surrounded by clutter--all the consumer items
you've purchased over the years (keeping them whether they continue to work or not)...
and you can be far from family and friends...
like a king in his counting house swimming in gold coins.....
but socially isolated.... without adequate social supports.....
in a country where the money, your money, has gone to bombs and banks.....
