Because you have not earned it yet. Just another part of the poor me generation....

What exactly have senior citizens (these days increasingly composed of the ultimate 'Me Generation', the Baby Boom generation) done to earn it?

so a little about the website that published this garbage:

About Us

Priceonomics is the price guide for everything. We’re based in San Francisco, CA.

Price guides are helpful for buying and selling used things. How much should I spend on this used phone on eBay? What’s a good price to list my stereo system for? Is this used Vespa a good deal, or what?

We hate getting ripped off or over-paying for stuff so we built Priceonomics. We search and analyze hundreds of millions of listings on the web to build our price guides. We hope you can use these reports to get the most value for the best price.

Today, we provide price estimates for used bicycles, televisions, speakers, monitors, turntables, computers, cell phones and much more. Some day soon, we’ll cover just about anything you might want to buy or sell. We’re just getting started.

Get in touch here or at info@priceonomics.com.

Apparently they think they are going to be the price experts on everything. There are three men listed in the profile,,all full of themselves

Well.... at least one or two of the 'baby boom' generation spent their money RAISING YOU and didn't opt out for an ABORTION.

It’s because in many countries, the elderly people are revered, cherished, admired and respected. They are considered wise and are to be respected. In the U.S., our senior citizens are often cast off and put away as if they are someone’s garbage. While it’s true that many seniors have children and grandchildren who love and respect them, so many others are forgotten and alone, living their last days in nursing homes, many of which are of very poor quality.

I believe that senior citizens worked in their youth and made contributions to society which have benefited the next generation of citizens. Their life experience, contributions and wisdom EARNS them the right to be treated with respect and care, whether or not they are rich or poor. For the simple fact that they have earned the respect of the younger generations, I believe they ALL deserve every discount they get. It is a small price for the rest of us to pay, in gratitude for all they have done for future generations.

Not only that, we paid our taxes and into Social Security and have served our country in several wars. We have contributed to the collective knowledge of many industries while trying to educate our children.

Most live on fixed income and still have to pay income tax on our Social Security payments.
