    Their policies are destined to trim an extra 50-100k Americans off Social Security each year, mostly the poors. I can’t prove that’s the intent, but it’s likely to be the outcome regardless.
    The dead will get lost in various stats and old people are not popular nor respected, so it’ll be overlooked. I know it’s trendy to hate on the elderly but y’all need to understand you will be old yourselves soon enough and the cultural hate of the old will apply to you. You are neither different nor special. Get vaxxed, eat your veggies.

      This, 100%. I see what seems to be a huge rise in bagging on “boomers” and a lot of it is among the supposedly progressive, which is just…mind-boggling. Apparently one of the last identity it is open season on is anyone above an arbitrary age, no matter what their life experiences. Everyone above, say, 70 years of age is one big monolith that caused all the problems…
