Do it already. Miss one Social Security payment and see the boomers go absolutely bonkers.
To be fair we do live too long. Rotting in our failing bodies while we lose who we are is a fate worse than death. All to keep Republicans in power and scammers rich.
No he’s right. They want you living longer so you can work longer and consume longer.
Number only goes bigger if you have more workers and consumers. Once either of those things stops being true you can’t have “infinite growth”.
There’s no way they want you living a shorter life. Not to mention all the money in old people care. It’s a massive industry.
I don’t get this reference.
Oh haha. Yeah I know how I sound, but you watch a love one deteriorate and see how you feel.
It was common a few generations back to have your teeth pulled and be fitted for dentures in your 30s.
The end of your natural life is always going to be gnarly.
There is a distinct concept between a “life span” and a “health span”.
Nobody denies that there is a point in time that your health fails to the point where additional life comes with diminished returns. This is where right to die legislation becomes very important.
But, speaking in broad general statistical generalities, both lifespan and health span have been increasing. The gap has always existed. In short: people have always lived too long, as you put it.
Living too long is NOT the same as not having adequate care in old age.
OK. So if you’re one of the VERY few lucky people to have amazing healthcare then sure… Live forever. Most of us don’t so what do we do?
Some countries actually care about their people and provide free, government funded healthcare. You could vote and write to your politicians in ways that support implementing that into your area.
I do vote, but this is America. I have no real power.
Not with that bitch ass attitude.
Look around. Look where we are. Your proud little comment is delusional.
Maybe we should send him to this CECOT

If they are killing people, they are not doing it in broad daylight for all the satellites to pick up. This is a fucking idiotic thing that people keep bringing up.
I very much doubt they care at this point. No one is trying to stop them. They could do it in broad daylight for every satellite to pick up, claim it is “construction work” and way too many would eat it up and run with it.
I can’t believe the country of guns and freedom is letting those guys at their government.
If you don’t want to fight, you should really gtfo.
This is the type of shit I used to read in books at school.
Remember how you all were bashing Russians for not doing enough to stop Putin and his war? Yeah, it seems that a democratic nation with guns is doing even less. Gives you a perspective on why things are the way they are.
The guns were pointed at gays, minorities, liberals, and communists in order to free themselves from the tyranny of other people daring to exist in their presence.
And kids I’m school. Don’t forget the kids.
I really don’t get it’ where this myth of freedom and democracy originated. Especially that life shows us real USA face all the time now.
The only freedom there was, was for billionaires to treat people like slaves.
Let the blade fall.
Eugenics?
I dislike Elon as much as the next guy but this post is distorting what he said. Social security depends on population growth to remain solvent. If people are living longer than projected and there are fewer working people, then you have a balance issue. I wish it was implemented as a 401k and each person gets back what they put in, but it is too late now. I’m all for increasing collection on social security and removing caps to make it solvent.
Or, we could uncap social security taxes.
People were already not going to be able to ever retire since at least 40 years ago.
Oh wait, I guess people is just realizing it
Someone needs to Luigi this dumb fuck already
But think about all the money they saved in order to fork it out to shareholders?
He could do something against the average lifespan and off himself.
Seriously what the hell is this timeline.
Is this intended to be surprising? He’s not saying anything that people haven’t been saying for decades. Nor has this been any kind of a secret.
Dude is angry because he has to get Romulus to pump his limp dick up
This comment makes me think I probably don’t get the symbolism behind Romulus and Remus; I know Romulus killed Remus during a dispute on where to settle Rome? Was it? And they both were raised by a wolf? But uhhh, symbolism eludes me; what’s the joke with your comment? Me big dum-dum and need things spoon-fed to me.
He has a child named Romulus. His 14th known child (likely more due to his penchant for secrecy).
Eww.
Oh thanks. I was overthinking it/didn’t know his kid’s names.
Heres me thinking Romulus was some kind of viagra competitor.
Take your botched tiny penis and fuck away off, you unlovable wretch.
“I’ll never forget, I turned to Mr. Brown, one of the Browns made this crack (that Unarco managers were a bunch of fools for notifying employees who had asbestosis), and I said, ‘Mr. Brown, do you mean to tell me you would let them work until they dropped dead?’ He said, ‘Yes. We save a lot of money that way.’”
From an article quoting Lewis H Brown, corporate owner of an Asbestos Company, and ALSO the Founder of The American Enterprise Institute, a Conservative ‘Think Tank’ which pushed anti-trans rhetoric to help get Trump elected.
“Think” is doing some very heavy lifting there.
Department of Government Efficiency is about commodifying the domestic proletariat, you say?!
