>>538761110This is just a result of meritocracy, if it was worth fixing, someone would have learned it. The Brahmin caste has grander things to focus than sick white dogs
>>538761110I'm glad MAID is becoming a thing. Society shouldn't have to bear the burden of keeping boomers alive at all costs.
>>538761110Canned slut. Need a church key to get some soup.
>>538761404Boomers will use every penny they have to live 2 more weeks, even if that means you will never have a home or family. It's just that important to them. Sorry.
>>538761110Did she live in there? I______ T__ S____
>>538761110>detrimentsit's intentionalnow her home can be bulldozed and turned into a 6 story multi family home for migrantsthe scrap from the iron lung can be used to build the robobussy exoskeleton for peter thiel's new sexbot and also as shrapnel for bombing gaza
There hasn't been much of a market for technicians familiar with iron lungs for a long timeEven parts are hard to getMuch of the developed worlds expertise is legacy. People who maintained them when they were widespread Ain't nobody going into a dead industry like that either
>>538761110This makes me sad. I'd rather be euthanized than grow old in a fucking machine
OP thinks iron lungs are still used and it's not a dead technology
>>538761613I'd be fine with it if virtual reality like SAO was a thing. Otherwise, let me die.
>>538761110what they won't tell you.Being intubated to breathe kills you with positive pressure. If they used an Iron lung they could keep you breathing while your body heals without the positive lung pressure killing you.We have the technology to make a more modern iron lung.But intubating is cheaper.
>>538761639>missing the point this muchSaar, kill yourself
>>538761593Grinder and paint make the welder you ain’t.
Redpill me on Polio. Why do they need tor live in a tin can?
>>538761685Letting old boomers croak is even cheaper.
>>538761787It can permanently destroy the diaphragm or cause chest muscle paralysis, rendering lungs effectively useless
>>538761787Their muscles have atrophied from Polio and need a pressurized chamber to move the diaphragm to breathe. Otherwise it's a conventional artificial respirator which will eventually kill you from long term use. Plus you'd need a feeding tube and and can't talk.
>>538761847but the point is that iron lungs can be, and in some cases, should be, still used not just on elderly polio cases
>>538761110The headline is lying. Maintaining old machinery and equipment is what machine job shops specialize in. This woman died, because her hospice provider didn't want to pay the money to have the unit repaired.
>>538761110All I take away from reading this is that she died the day she was told the last person who could repair it had died.
>>538761376>This is just a result of meritocracy, if it was worth fixing, someone would have learned it. The Brahmin caste has grander things to focus than sick white dogsSaaaaaaaaaaaaar
seems easy to repair what the fuck
>>538761787They took the vaxxx.
it's funnier because she's a boomer and you know it'll be boomers posting "THOSE DANG MILLENNIALS WITH THERI LACK OF WORK ETHIC NOT FIXIN DA MACHINES" because you know there's some white 43yo mechanic out there who was supposed to be trained on exactly this shit 25 years ago but some boomer in his 50s looked and him and decided "thsi kid will take my job if I train him" then when fatass finally keeled over from one of his many heart attacks 15 years later, the machine was left to run on hopes and dreamsToday that 43yo xiennial mechanic, shat upon by boomer retirees in the comments of that article probably, gets most of his money running a youtube channel showing off neat repair tricks for cars you can do at home instead of taking them to the shop and selling merch because he was never able to move up to master mechanic or whatever because of a series of never-retiring boomers who refuse to pass on their knowledge and then seethe and moan when the consequences bite them in the ass.
>>538761110>Is this your 30 day limited time warranty Lavnish?
Just make new parts at a machine shop. It's not hard. I bet a retarded child could figure out how to fix the iron lung, the company in charge of her care, just didn't want to anymore.
>>538762460what a life jfcjust overdose me on fentanyl and let me go what th e fuck
>>538761110I think she was happy to finally get out from box.
>>538762530This was so nicely written, I grinned devillishly just imagining it. Thanks anon.
>>538761110Can't really complain when you live to 78 with such a condition.
>>538761110how do u poop in that thing
>>538761110do you think this is isolated to just old machinery? get ready, it's only going down from here. all that ladder pulling from the boomers is going to cause an enormous labor crisis. nevermind ai, universal basic income, 32 hour work weeks. the damage those fuckers will cause by gatekeeping trades is going to fuck us harder than when they were alive no amount of shitskins will be able to fix it
>>538762725you poop into an adult diaper which is quickly removed and replaced because you can't breathe while the machine is openhell on earth
>>538762725Tubes hooked up to your holes
>>538761546Yeah, that kind of sucks. But you people are useless pieces of shit. So I couldn't imagine handing over any of my shit to my kids. I'm not a boomer, but I've already cut one kid out of my will for being a total cunt.
They should've put these people out of their misery decades ago. What's the point of being alive if you have to be bedridden inside cylinder for decades?
>>538761613thank God for vaccines
>>538761613>I'd rather be euthanized than grow old in a fucking machinegreat, now go back to the computer and get to work, wagie, we need those new numbers
>>538761110>no one could repairLol, lmao, kek, and bullshit
>>538761719What fucking point? Some old lady was stuck in an iron lung, something that's been out of use for decades, and died when it broke because nobody has used them since the 70s. Who the fuck would have both the knowledge and parts to be able to repair a machine that's over 40 years old, and been out of use for about as long?
>>538761110>she was married twice.[10] Lillard was married to Ray Stupp [11], who she said that she met in 1989 and was with for 28 years until he was moved to a nursing home.[7] She met her second husband online and married him in February of 2026[10] after 22 years of courtship.
>>538762764Ironically you could probably have billionaires pay boomers to pass their knowledge directly to AI for money, but guys like elon are too cheap to pay for tactile knowledge and too dumb to know why it would be valuable if you're shilling "robots who will do all the work for you!" as the next big thing in the 2030s.
>>538762860The real, non-experimental ones
>>538762819>But you people are useless pieces of shit.uh huhAnd you don't think, maybe, being an old man who spent his entire life screaming at his wwii era parents for telling him to stop being a pussy bitch and then screaming at your kids might have caused the fact that no one likes you.>I'm not a boomer59 is close enough, xoomer.
>>538762974>22 years>met in 2004>first husband died in 2017>strung this guy alone for 22 yearsWomen quite literally can never truly suffer in any timeline imaginable, and will always be cheating whores.
>>538762974>elderly lady stuck in an iron lung had a more active romantic life than most of /pol/kek
>>538762937>the machine is decades old so no one knows how to repair it>doesn’t know how old the infrastructure making his internet possible is You’d better hope to god your incredulity doesn’t have ground to stand on
>>538761110It had nothing to do with the machine breaking down. The machine was functioning when she died. >“They told her she wasn’t supposed to live past 20 years old,” Lillard’s younger sister, Cindy McVey, told The Associated Press on Friday. “She had the enthusiasm and the drive to continue living and make the best of her life.”McVey attributes her sister’s death to the effects of long-haul COVID-19. A death certificate lists causes as chronic pulmonary failure and post-polio syndrome, McVey said.
>>538762860>>538763017The polio vaccine did give people polio though. They shipped a bad batch and a bunch of people got sick.
>>538761110I'm sure people could repair it, they just didn't want to take on the risk and be found liable if they did anything wrong or if she died while repairs were being done.
>>538763290Did they actually vaccinate her against Covid too?
>>538761955>It can permanently destroy the diaphragm or cause chest muscle paralysisPretty much this. Ian Dury was left Paralysed in his arm and leg from it after apparently catching Polio in a swimming pool.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6isXNVdguI8
>>538761110Why didn’t that retard just switch to a normal ventilator?
>>538763017You’re an antisemite libtard and not real MAGA.
>>538763240The difference here is that the internet is in active use. There are literally millions of users on the internet daily. It's hugely profitable to learn all the specific ins and outs of the internet, and a lot of people do. Meanwhile the iron lung was used by a single digit number of people up until the last one died. It's pointless to learn about using something essentially nobody uses. You might think you have some point about the competency crisis or planned obsolescence, but really you don't. Just say you hate pajeets because they shit everywhere like the rest of us.
>>538762460Or just get one of picrel for $100
>>538761110fake
>>538762672I think they just pushed her head inside then put the entire thing into the crusher. For efficiency.
>>538763374What was she going to do, roll away? The people with the needles are the ones changing her Iron-diapers.
>>538763290She has exactly the same foot and toe shape as me, a white male. Am I actually half chinese even though nobody in my family knew it? I'm also good at math and smarter than everyone else in my family and I'm not bothered by the thought of other people eating dogs. Shit, now I'm wondering.
>>538761970Its not atrophying....its paralysis. Had an uncle who caught polio tho it didn't effect his breathing but he never walked agwin after he got it in the 50s
>>538762974>6 years in and she was already flirting and cheatingIn a fucking IRON LUNG lmao. Women.
>>538763744The paralysis from “polio” was actually from DDT
>>538762633You have no idea how far are boomers will go to keep living and make sure no one else gets anything.
>>538761593I think the right person can fix anything. There's two types of technicians in my experience. There's the ones that can repeat learned behaviour and there are the ones that can look at a system, sometimes with the help of some tech docs, and understand the system well enough to repair it. If they couldn't repair the iron lung, it's probably because they were looking for people with learned experience on them. Instead of trying to find someone who can assess the system, then formulate a solution.
>>538761110> No one could repair it. Civilisation exists to transfer the lessons from the past to the people of the future, if it fails to do that then it fails at the most basic transmission in human history.
>>538763544this post stupidty explains how she died. hundreds of retards like that per hospital now
There are other, better types of ventilators if that was the issue.And for fuck sake, this woman married twice.
>>538764039Sometimes the lesson is "stop wasting energy on vegetables."
>>538764189>marked as a COVID death
>>538762672She just had to get into another one right after
>>538763931This. Typical HR retard behavior.>yeah this mechanical engineer has 20 years experience repairing pneumatic compression systems but he doesn't have a bachelor's in iron lung studies!! How can he even know anything?Then the woman died because they hired an Indian with a fake degree from Garghalballs University of Real HiFi English or whatever.
>>538761564She only used it at night. She was married (twice).Women truly live life on easy mode
>>538761613If I recall correctly, some patients, using proper breathing techniques, could leave the machine for a limited time almost every day
>>538761376I'm not even mad that's literally how the government operates.
>>538763340yeh, however that was then. In other words would you rather they didn't have the polio vaccine, people who lived then (who would now be dead anyway) carried on living but millions of people died? The whole billions must die (but at least no vaccine - right?)
I'm tired of breathing on my own. I want to lazy max. Where can I get an Iron lung?
>>538761110Isn't this like the 3rd one of these "last person in an iron lung dies" storys? How many of these fuckers are left?Also >no one could fix it.What a load of shit. No one could fix it for free maybe, but there are also multiple other treatments how / why where they still in an iron lung in the first place?
>>538764555Especially true given technology like 3D printing and CNC. Which means parts availability is irrelevant. Honestly the sad truth is probably that there's no money or incentive to find someone to fix it. There's probably some high school drop out mechanic that would have slapped it together in a weekend. Get it going for another five or ten years, but like you said, if they did have the money and incentive they'd look for an engineer, then end up with raj who lied in his CV.
>>538762460This too. Like unironically I think I could take a crack at it. I'm pretty sure a committed Toyota mechanic could solve this easily.I think the other anon was right, her insurance didn't want to cover it. Luigi was right.
>>538762241ThisEven if there is no iron lung technician anymore, its not rocket science, 100% someone could maintain and repair it
>>538764673This. They essentially had to manually breathe outside the device tho. There's a guy who passed law school and took on thousands of clients. Badass ngl
>>538763516>point goes right over his head because he’s a jeet>equates jeets to peopleNigger, there’s maybe 100 people alive in the world that understand the infrastructure im talking about, and you’re not one of them.
>>538763469Normal ventilators are fucking horrific. When my dad was dying, the first thing he did every time he woke up was trying to tear that tube out of his throat.
>>538762241I can't this hard enough.Hell, some of the shit guys do on youtube, regular ol' dudes who are into old machines, could have taken a look and seen how it works, figured something out, and done it for free.
>>538762974>be woman>need iron lung to live>still able to have a husband and cheat on him for almost 10 years before leaving him and marrying the other dude>pass away 6 months laterIncredible.
>>538762460Its a parts issue. Which means its a manufacturing problem, because nobody has the dies, molds, and whatever else you need to make the parts anymore.
>>538765044Uh huh. If its worth doing, people will do it. Otherwise it'll get replaced.
>>538765118He sounds like a fag who should’ve rolled her down a hill.
>>538761110Her husband was some Arab she met just the year before.
>>538761110it doesn't matter, I rather suffer detriment than be a racist
>>538763290I have long covid. Fucking sucks. No I'm not vaxxed. Its just a freak occurrence that happens
>>538761787It's basically the HECKIN' SCIENCE version of fearmongering someone into submission, just like Christcuckery and other religions do.https://youtu.be/tFcVdDX5jXg?si=gVEzZpQoCdiLUJ5X>TAKE ZE VAXX OR YOU WILL HAVE TO LIVE IN ZE IRON LUNG :OOO
>>538765236Seems like obesity and diabetes to me, lmao
>>538765172You still don’t get it, do you? The number of calls, scripts, switches, and processes that are executed and flipped every time you swipe a credit card are all supported by infrastructure that’s running on hardware from the 1980s, with backup lead acid batteries from the 1970s, in every single zip code of this godforsaken country. And we are well past the time when the white men that built it would give enough of a shit to fix it; most people today are just too dumb. >it’ll be replacedWishful thinking. Not everything turns out good in the end.
>>538761110so you're telling me they didn't design better versions of iron lung since 1940? yeah, I call bullshit
>>538765225We can make that happen
>>538765236There is no such thing as long covid. There is no diagnostic test.There are no biomarkers. There is no evidence at all that this condition exists and it cannot be diagnosed on anything other than vibes.It is not a real illness. It is the outcome of lazy doctors misdiagnosing other conditions.
>>538764808Probably the same number as holocaust survivors.
>>538762974>>538763132>>538763747>>538765118I've changed my mind. I'm glad that the machine failed and I hope it's used as spare parts to build a machine strong enough to hate women with the intensity they deserve.
>>538765172>>538765414I'm currently in a building with hundreds of millions of dollars flowing through it and the majority of the telecommunications lines in here were installed or use technology from the 80s. Like I'm 10ft away from being able to fuck this place up with a pair of scissors if I wanted.That anon is right, you're a retarded Indian if you think this isn't ancient.
Women really are the niggers of gender
>>538764603No woman is lonely
>>538762819It's your fault your kid is a cunt by the way.
>>538766156Bazinga based
>>538765743Your right. Its called orthostatic POTS or dysautonomia
>>538761787It’s a psychological trick to confine you staying in a can.If she jumps out of it she would be able to walk away like a normal person.
>>538765132You could probably 3D print a part nowadays. It wouldn't be nearly as good, but it's not like she would need it for very long. Use the old part as reference.
>>538761110Why couldn't they transfer her to another more recently made machine?There are still people using them.>t. durable medical equipment tech who serviced one 18 months ago.
>>538761110>No one could repair a device built in the 1940'sHow? Shouldn't we be more than capable to with our modern equipment and tools? What did the 1940's possess that we don't today in terms of technology?
>>538767099Please tell me about this job. Is it hard to get into? Does it pay good?
>>538761593There are still units being made.I'm a durable medical equipment tech, wheelchairs mostly, and serviced a newer version about 18 months ago.
>>538767175>What did the 1940's possess that we don't today in terms of technology?Competent White men in managerial positions who would say "Get another competent White man to look at this."Now it's just HR sluts hiring Indians.
>>538765236Anon, your feet are doing that because you're dangerously fat and dangerously out of shape. My feet get a lesser version of that and I'm 65 pounds overweight with poor cardio. Get your ass to the gym if you don't want to lose that right foot.
>>538762764>>538767175
OP IS A FUCKING FAGGOT LIKE ALWAYShttps://archive.is/nLRSoShe reached out to the news to get eyes on her to find someone who wanted to try and do maintenance on it, but died 8 days later. She didn't die from the machine failing.>Martha Lillard was removed from the vacuum, and for the first time in 73 years, she slept outside the iron lung; eternal rest.>Over the decades, some polio survivors transitioned to more modern respirators, but for Martha, nothing worked like the bellows of the iron lung.>“I tried all of them,” she said. “None of them could get up to 21 pounds (per square inch), which is what I needed to breathe. So they just weren’t effective.”>>538767068Also, reading the article>Her grandfather retrofitted the tank, adding a secondary motor so she could open the hatch from the inside.It's from the 50s. It is entirely mechanical and hands-on maintenance. Someone "good with tools" could probably figure it out.Anyway, they keep blaming covid for the reason, but considering she most assuredly almost never left the fucking house, it's more likely old age was finally getting to her.
>>538761110OMG Chat !!Who could possibly fix a 40 year old machineImpossible
>>538767943>fourty years of paper thin steel and lacquer gone to rust >gen x boomer power washes engine bay>3.5 million, I know what I got it would be a more entertaining and a more sound investment if you dropped an LS1 in a miata, rabbi
>>538761110Her life was miserable, it's like being a w40k dreadnought who can't kill and destroy anything... no glory at all, only pain instead, just thinking of it gives me headache.
>>538761546As if you would die so someone could have something you worked for you faggot.
>>538761404MAID is meant to get rid of disillusioned millennials and zoomers before they kill the Brahmin caste, it's not meant for boomers.
>>538768606We don't know for sure whether or not she killed anyone
>>538761110fake and gay as per usual. it's not a saturn 5 rocket. iron lungs are so stupid simple the fucking ancient romans could have made them easily
>>538764603At WORST a crippled wife is like a fleshlight with a disability pension. Let alone her family money.
>>538763931True. Im that kind of person. Give me any machine, tec docs, and the tools i needs snd its fuckin done
>>538768797I fucking hate how much I'm learning about Jeet culture from having to share an internet with them. Three years ago nobody knew what "Brahmin" or "Izzat" meant.
>>538766936My wife has POTS.Its another umbrella medical term that includes loads of types of conditions.

>>538761404>make maid available for homeless>let ai and indians take all the jerbs>only give social housing to indiansNice knowing you
>>538762974So can they use the iron lung pressure to make her pussy extra tight, or?
>>538762460Her family probably paid the technician a few hundred bucks to say it was unfixable. I bet they already had a deposit down on the pool table they're gonna put in the room she used to stink up.
>>538764683>Meritocracy >The governmentHoly shit. Imagine being this clueless and retarded. Public sector jobs are occupied by people not good enough for the private sector.
>>538769423It would hurt.
>>538761404I agree. We should kill all Canadians

>>538761110Why would anyone want to exist like that for any period of time?
i dont get itcant they just stick a tube up her nose and attach it to a tank nowadays?
>>538761110this is stupid, how is that no American engineer cant repair 1940s tech... those are mechanical gadgets, most likely no one funded the repair of the machine.
>>538769694because "muh life is special"
>>538769289nobody cares about your gibs, faggot

>>538770188So this technology has been around since the 40s and somehow we can't fix it? Even with a guy in here saying he's a medical technician and has fixed them before?So what's the issue here, what happened? Can you tell us?
>>538761110Don’t feel bad for this ‘foid..She was thinking of Chad until the last second.
>>538761110It broke because america export their manufacturing to china and programming to h1b jeets
>>538764683Its government's fault bros! Let Elon replace another 20 million americans bros! Saaar!
>>538763872No, the paralysis from polio IS from polio, it's just a very, very rare autoimmune reaction to the disease. Your immune system, while fighting the virus, also decides to attack your own nervous system. Most people who get polio are fine and recover.
>>538769514Saar! Saar! Thats it Saar! Let Elon import bajillions more jeets to own the libs!
>>538761110Yeah, that's a lie. There was no causation between machine being old and breaking down and her death. She died because she was a 78 year old polio patient whos condition worsened after going through covid. She also refused to use iron lung alternatives.The idea that she died because no one could repair a machine is fantastical.
>>538767345This.
>>538763211Imagine thinking that iron lung patients are stuck there 24/7. Most of them just use it at night and during the day they're normally outside.
>>538761787it wasn't from polio, the damage is caused by polio vaccine. you can look it up
>>538770131Even niggers don't have the excuse of being totally genetically determined. If they had present fathers who spent time reading with them and teaching them positive conflict resolution they wouldn't be a(s much of a) bunch of babbling gun-toting pavement apes that speak in malapropisms. My father was a mostly absent alcoholic, but the one thing I'm not is a thin-skinned pussy with the vanity of the average American negro.Parenting actually matters--look at the academic accomplishment of slants.
>>538764836This. I can't imagine it was due to anything but a lack of profit motive.I hate boomers, but I feel bad because being a polio case seems like a hell of a hard life.
