When I hear the word care, I nearly always think of it as used in the sentence “I don’t care.” I know it also means to care for someone, but for some reason, my brain is geared to interpret it as a statement about apathy. Which makes this BBC article about healthcarers extremely funny:

The number of children and over 65s who act as carers is double previous estimates, research has revealed.

…

And 44,000 over-85s said they acted as a carer - more than half provided at least 50 hours of care a week.

…

More than a quarter of over-65s who cared for over 50 hours a week described their health as “not good”.

…

“Over half of carers had sustained a physical injury since becoming a carer, over half were being treated for a stress-related disorder and 90% were not given any information by NHS staff on how to care safely.”

I can’t help imagining a Douglas-Adamsesque future where giving a shit is something you pay other people to do while you get on with your life.
