Remember all that payroll (Social Security) tax you paid in all your life for your retirement?

Well, they spent it so now you have to die, Boomer.

It was a DemonRat program. Did you really expect it to work?

“There are issues with lung damage and possibly sterility in the young.”

Millennials tend not to want children. They believe the world’s ending soon, and they’ll party through the end days, be it from global warming, meteor or some virus.

SanchoP, I remember that song. It’s a good song. I also went to school with the measles (for a day) like everyone else my age and we rode in cars with no seatbelts, so I am sympathetic with your point of view. Biggest issue I see is overwhelming the health care system so let’s try it their way for 15 days. After that we really need to examine our priorities as a nation. I am not willing to sacrifice our younger generations for my own safety.

“Well, they spent it (SS) so now you have to die, Boomer.”

I’m sure a yuge number of people in America readily agree with that.

And it’ll be a fix they’re fine with (until THEY approach old age).

The Gen Z’ers will think you are quoting the Bible to them. Ha ha.

“but the spoiled rotten “I,ME,My,MINE” boomer generation that destroyed a once great nation...”

For your information, the vast majority of “boomers” voted for Reagan in 1984, while the majority of millennials voted for the racist, commie Obuma.

You’re welcome...

I’ve received word from a couple of different young people about the same talk being popular among many other young people in retail jobs. They’re talking about how they’ll use the virus to kill us off to get Biden elected.

Our church has been preparing for cottage meetings for over a year. We already know what to do. I’ve heard friends at other churches tell me they are attending services by video feed. It’s impossible to stop committed worshippers. We adapt.
