This is even more insidious. Think of it.

Do you smoke? Are you overweight? Have diabetes? Do you drink alcohol? Coffee? Think how they can ration health care to people they deem as contributing to their own “health concerns.” Are you 70 or over? Your usefulness is over. To quote Dickens “Better you should perish and decrease the surplus population.” You die, no Social Security benefits. Government takes money.

“Are you 70 or over? Your usefulness is over.”

That’s pretty terrifying on it’s own. I have people in their late 60’s and 70’s working for me...and they run CIRCLES around me some days while I’m at 49 and holding!

Yep, and they will end up raising the retirement age to 70 before long.. I can work till I’m 70, but who the hell is going to hire a 68-69 year old. 25 years experience in import/export and can’t get a job now because of my age.

Just go ahead and shoot me, put me out of my misery.....death may be better than watching O destroy this country.
