I guess the brainworm guy figures he is going to live forever even if we are not. Plus he has more money than the average American. I will continue to get vaccinated. At 74 I want to keep living and I like others need my social security and Medicare. This insanity will undoubtedly take many lives. Both young and old. For those who are on the common sense side but very limited income they will be hurt the most. I remember 15 years ago seeing a single elderly woman in low income housing having to decide on a very expensive antibiotic or her insulin. When people are on Medicaid they have to continually report expenses and if family helps with med costs they can lose their full Medicaid and end up on cost of share. Many of the elderly women never worked and collected under their spouse and have less than $1000 for social security. It is not viable now so it will only get worse
Many years ago when I was working in a nursing home in Wisconsin, someone said to me, "You know, don't you, that the government is secretly working toward euthanasia for old people?" This, of course, is paraphrase, because, as I said, it was many years ago. But of course, I never forgot it. Now we have a government that is on the verge of implementing an elaborate version of that, not so quietly thanks to Scott Bessent and his hot mike, and our favorite sewer swimmer RFK jr.
Like Teri, I will continue to get vaccinated and attempt to stay alive if for no other reason than to piss them off. Yes, I need Social Security and, ungainly as it is, Medicare. And I'm not going to be around forever, but my children are headed for a calamitous time in the very near future. The depravity of the minds behind this horror do not even deserve consideration. Unfortunately, because we seem to be teetering on the brink of the inevitable, we need to get busy and appeal to whichever minds are hanging around in our respective states. And I do love forwarding Substacks to Chuck Schumer and Josh Riley.
I will likely pass before they completely gut SS but that does not mean I shouldn’t care. I will fight every day to make sure Bessent and Kennedy and Dump pay for their crimes!
As one who is collecting SS and married to someone collecting not only SS, but NAV RET and VA disability, this is our retirement. It is scary to think it could all go away. We are an inconvenience. Gone are the days when Seniors were respected for the contributions we made, or the stories we held. The hate I feel for these folks is a deep well.
I’m not saying Italy isn’t without its problems but the government does believe in science. It’s in the Italian constitution that access to healthcare is a right. All vaccines are free. I did not move here because of the orange turd but he is another good reason to be glad we are here. Italian friends continue to ask us questions about why he’s allowed to do the things he does. They want to know what happened to the USA they admired. Those are questions that are very hard to answer.
I guess retirees, elderly, and in need are the new waste, fraud, and abuse. I'm disgusted by this trash heap of a mess made by the puppet Baron von Bronzer. He is absolutely useless, but is a good shade for the real powers behind the oval. Thanks Jack. I'll keep my screeching up.
Killing by attrition is not a surprise but it is really mean. Wasn’t trump lucky to stumble upon worm brain, son of one of our finest Americans, to help with his program? What would Bobby do?
