You seem to think all people over the age of 60 are looking at a no-worry retirement. That could not be further from the truth. I see them come into my ER, and those who could not afford Medicare are losing all insurance due to Medicaid cuts, losing the nursing homes that have cared for much older relatives for the same reason, have serious health issues, and are unable to work and have had any and all resources eaten up years ago. Their children and grandchildren, yes, are struggling too. I likewise see the desperation peak with suicide attempts almost daily.
So, no, I don't take your callous statements lightly. Time to rethink, my young hornedfrog. No one beyond the oligarchy is going to have an easy time of it thanks to years of Republican policies--even before but now aggressively propelled by MAGA and TRUMP.
