    Everyone deserves food, water, shelter and serviceable clothing.

    There is literally no reason why everyone on the planet cannot have these necessities.

          I just love how everyone forgets disabled people exist.

          Or, is I guess just fine with them all dying.

          You don’t have to be a boomer to be disabled.

            Life sucks, then you lose your benefits and you die. Be happy that your death will tick a box somewhere or be part of a statistic that might help make humanity better. Or not.

        Or kill them and release a flood of houses. I just think death is best for these people. Wipe the slate clean, start over, hopefully do better this time.

          Divide and rule works, and you’re the kind of person it works on.

          Learn a bit more and see who the real enemy is. It’s not some old dear down the street.

            Anyone who ever voted for a republican is the enemy, and at this point I celebrate their death. You can fed up the place all you want, it doesn’t mean you’re right.

              Old people and others who rely on social security are not uniformly Republicans.

                Though they do disproportionately live in florida. I do wonder if the government shutdown goes on long enough if florida will start cracking.
