About time we stop pulling the kids out of college so grandma can have more cash.

dude have you ever talked to an older person about this stuff?

they are ridiculous....

it is also nice that we are expected to save for anything we expect to have - or work ourselves to our grave - while they demand handouts...

I have no desire for the government to babysit my ass when i'm old. Fuck that shit.

 

[Lumberg]

This is not an American problem, this is a problem in all nations where the "babyboom" took place. Holland is cutting social like a motherfucker

We need another World War

Like Horses, People should be put down once they are old and useless.

i love how he suggests retirement ages be increased as life expectancies increase. I guess he thinks somehow the human race on a year by year basis just keep evolving to add years onto our life spans. I guess my great great great grandkids will live to be like 200 years old?

I guess they won't be happy till there's no such thing as retirement. I'm going to start thinking of a business that can make fiscal use of old decrepit peolpe in wheelchairs and walkers.

They should just wipe out the economy and start over with shells or something.

Or young and useless. We could determine it by annual salary.

Be careful what you wish for.

Jesus Matt as if putting down the elderly isn't bad enough.
I actually believe in -voluntary- euthanasia but damn
