Post anti-boomer shit
Society has never been capable of supporting retirees/disabled people
Government welfare only exists because women and boomers are allowed to vote
Adult intelligence begins around child-bearing age - teenagers are stupid because modern parenting and education are retarded
Human intelligence peaks around age 35
By age 50 human intelligence has regressed back to 18-year-old levels
If people under 18 shouldn't vote, people over 50 also shouldn't vote for the same reason
Boomers shouldn't be allowed to drive cars, make decisions, sign contracts or do anything that requires "adulthood"
Pre-FDR
>the only "retirements" were privately funded through earned accumulated wealth i.e. not funded by the children of retirees
>anyone who couldn't handle harsh reality would have been ostracized, left for dead and/or removed from the gene pool
There might have been a valid argument for social security and medicare if they weren't insolvent
But that would require the government to be smart about
>investing social security revenue wisely; using the stock market to maximize returns on retirement withholdings; not fucking up like pensions in the 2008 housing crash
>negotiating with the medical industry to keep medicare costs at a reasonable level
neither of which has a chance in hell (unless boomers stopped voting perhaps)
At what point can we say
>protecting society for working people is more important than protecting anything for retired/disabled people
>if a new flu variant comes around and everyone is ok except grandma and some land whales tough shit it's the natural order
t. 35-year-old actually disabled; skull crushed as a child; memory and mental processing fucked; denied SS benefits repeatedly because the government is stupid, SS lawyers are criminal, and therapists are a useless profession - I see the stupidity of the boomer welfare system from the other side, and we should unironically abolish it and leave disabled people to rot with the elderly
