Tell your boomers to get a job. A failing body is no excuse--that's what technology is for. Become a programmer. No experience needed with Super Intelligence. Go label some data. Better yet can America start another war? Ship all the boomers to fight for freedom in the Ukraine. Bunch of obese grifters.

But they’ll leave! And take all the jobs with them!

We’ll only have a country full of factories and resources and infrastructure, which is all useless if you don’t have billionaires.

This is a bullshit push poll, to push for raising taxes on the working class.

It’s bullshit because the US can always meet its Social Security obligations, because the US is the issuer of its own currency, and it’s constitutionally required to pay it.

The validity of the public debt of the United States, authorized by law, including debts incurred for payment of pensions and bounties for services in suppressing insurrection or rebellion, shall not be questioned.

The audacity to suggest this after being responsible for the situations we all find ourselves in.

A landlord setting an apartment building on fire and then forcing the tenants to pay with their own money to rebuild it so the landlord can continue collecting rent again.

Insane

They're trying their best to get me to see Logan's Run as aspirational, rather than dystopian.
