AARP reaps in the suckers.

This is appealing to people in their 30s? How many people in their 30s 'identify' with the Buzzcocks? Even The Clash was putting out music into the 80s, and it's only the wider-known stuff that most people in that age group would recognize. It's been my experience that people in (for example) their mid-30s at this point share more cultural similarities with people in their mid-20s than with those in their mid-40s.
I wonder how many people join w/o knowing their money goes to promote lefty causes such as gun control. We called and told them to take us off their mailing list and thankfully we have not heard from them since.
A guy I know said his Ma had one of their 'Gap-Filler' policies. After her death in cleaning up her affairs, he had the lawyer write to them too see if they'd pay any benefits. They replied " we don't pay any until you've been in hospital 90 days!" Little " gotcha there sucka'" so to speak. They are pure fraud. I send mailers back EMPTY, sometimes.
I did not join AARP and have no intentions of doing so.
Oh my.
