Where Did the Empathy & Compassion Go? Old-School vs. New-School PCAs | Episode 4
2026. The technology is better, but the care is worse. In this raw episode of Infinite Voices Carry On, Lisandra (Summer Moon), Kevin (Hatchy), and Justin (J Cops) return for the New Year to tackle the elephant in the room: Where did the empathy go? We debate the heartbreaking shift from "Old School" PCAs who became family, to "New School" workers who treat us like a transaction. Is it the worker's fault, or is the system broken? Episode Chapters: 00:00 - Happy New Year 2026! We are back. 02:35 - The Big Question: Are we people or just a paycheck? 07:12 - "Old School" (Family) vs. "New School" (Gig Worker) mentalities. 12:45 - The "Hamburger Incident": Cooking vs. just "Meal Prep." 18:50 - The Agency Problem: Sending "warm bodies" instead of trained care. 26:15 - The "EVV" Nightmare: How tracking apps destroy human connection. 33:00 - A Call to Action: Building a community that fights back. seo_tags: #DisabilityRights #PCAcare #HomeCareCrisis #MassHealth #IndependentLiving #CerebralPalsy #DisabilityAdvocacy #EVV #CaregiverBurnout #InfiniteVoicesCarryOn
