Yeah, I don't expect to be around all that much longer with my bad heart and all. I think us old timers (I'm assuming some of us, like me, are in their fifties) were fortunate to have lived in the years we did. We missed World War II and, hopefully, we'll miss World War III or the second American Civil War or both. If not, at least we can say we had a mostly peaceful youth.

Also, tuition was 1/10 as much and crazy sky high rent was only in little pockets not everywhere. Honestly, the middle class was much more accessible when we came to age. The divide between rich and poor is much more pronounced now. They say the economy is good now but it seems to me millennials (and there around) hardly have a fighting chance. We were the first generation to make less on average than our parents but we still had it relatively easy. My heart goes out to young people today. They’re the ones who are really going to have to fight to redistribute the wealth and their children are going to deeply feel the ecological destruction that we’re leaving behind.

Ben Shapiro is gonna get the next seat. So at least we'll have plenty of Jewish representation.

Since you don't give a flying ****, maybe you should just control yourself, and stay out of these discussions. You add zero.

Me: Politics matters at the end of the day.
You: **** politics and everyone involved.
Me: So why get involved in a discussion about politics?
You: I'm bored and just want to rile up some ****.

You'll be dead soon, your opinion is irrelevant.

I'm sorry that you view my intentions like that. I'll be continuing to post on politics as I see them, thanks for the advice though.
