All hail our billionaire overlords, please pay 50 cents to continue breathing the air.

Boomers will get theirs. Millennials are once again fucked.

Back to work, you crusty bastards.

Fuck that, they'd make things worse, even as greeters at Walmart.

I hear they like warm weather, Somalia is warm and even has a nice coast.

They'll make sure the program sunsets as the last boomer takes their last breath

Only if the younger generations allow it, by rolling over.

Hasnt happened yet. I have not paid into something my whole life to have it taken away.

You've been paying for boomers' retirement, there literally won't be enough young people to pay for ours unless rich people start having to actually pay into it too (on their whole wealth/income not just the measly limit we have now)

You realize we out number them, right?

Let's just vote for a 'Medicare pause' for 5 years, let nature sort itself out.

Throw boomer Republicans out on the street. No money to put them in the old folks home and that's on them.

I don't think you can put this one on the boomers. This is bigger than them

Eh... Look at what Norway did with oil in the late 60s and try and think about what boomers could have done in the USA if they had decided to adopt a similar plan. Norway, a country of 5 millions, owns 1.5% of the stock market!

They didn't act alone but they created this mess.

[–] inclementimmigrant@lemmy.world 10 points 1 month ago

Gen Xers and Gen Z also wanted this.

[–] slickgoat@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago

Except it wasn't the boomers this time.
