There have been 0 prosecutions for the mayors executing our old people. That should tell you all you need to know about the priorities of the political elites.

Sorry for what youre going through OP, try to get your dad a phone so he can call/vid you and his girlfriend, at least that much for him.

My dad does have a flip phone with him in the hospital. We tried to get him a smart phone a couple of years ago, but he refused to use it. We also tried to get him an iPad, but he wouldn't use that, either. :/

I hope to God that there is massive backlash against the government for what they are doing to old people, including prosecutions! It's horrifying!

This is a good oldpersons phone, it is designed specifically for seniors

He might like the emergency help button, and this is what the menu looks like - it should be easy for him to pick up something new.

& The plans aren't majorly expensive.

It has a regular usb connection, so he can probably use his current charger with it, too.

This has a ton of other phones on it, but I think the greatcall is probably the best for an old person.

Here is a tutorial for using Facetime for seniors-

This one is aimed at talking to grandkids, but it gives a good overview of the different ways to video chat, for an older person.

The easiest ones for him are probably going to be skype, zoom, and facetime. Maybe you should ask his girlfriend which ones she can use, and then send him a good tutorial for that one?

The jitterbug will be easiest for him because the UI is made way larger than any other modern phones. + the emergency button.

I had a bit more, but this comment is getting a little longish. So this'll be it for now.

And the governors treatment of our old people - It's completely criminal. I hope every one of those amoral faggots winds up in jail for what they did to our elders.

The fucko who poisoned Flint endorsed Biden, to boot.
