I guarantee you’ve turned your head at a trans girl… and had no idea. Meh. I’ve seen men catcall and honk at guys who simply had long blond hair running down their back.

If he was cremated, he’s black now. You’ve obviously never seen cremated remains.

I’ve always assumed that posts that began with “as a black man” were posted by a non-black person. Trying too hard, and invading their own Internet privacy at the same time.

but that necessarily means that other people are now paying for their Social Security. Who is “their?” Currently Social Security is designed for workers to pay for their own retirement.

Social Security was designed to have winners and losers in the contributions game. My mom died at 64, and my dad died at 59. They both contributed to Social Security during their entire working lives without collecting a cent from it. That’s the way it goes.

retirees started receiving benefits even if they never paid into the system, which was paid for by the current workers who were paying into the system. The vast majority of current boomers have fully paid for their own Social Security pension. Social Security is also not a pension. That’s a distinction without a difference.

boomers between years 1946 and 1964, which have actually paid more than they’ll get in benefits. So boomers 79 and younger are fully paying their own way. According to Google, the average US longevity is 78.4 years. I don’t see an unfairness problem. Google also states that only about 4-5% of the U.S. population is 80 and older. You also assume those over 80 have paid nothing toward their pension. I don’t think we should universally hate boomers just because the economic situation they were in happened to favor them in some ways Again, most boomers pay their own way. And many seniors are living below the poverty line. And speaking of being favored, male boomers were required to risk their lives for their country. Current US males can take that risk optionally. Do you have any idea of how many young men had their lives cut short during WW2 and Vietnam? there are just fewer workers paying in to the system than there are people taking money out, and that number only grows as people get older Obviously false. Most seniors have already fully paid for their pension. If everybody is paying their own way, what difference does it make whether there are fewer workers? You falsely assume that current workers are paying for current seniors. it’s not looking like we’ll be any better as we grow older Whatever happens to you, it won’t be because of the boomers who are paying their own way.

They could not afford to survive off only what they put in. That’s why many senior citizens live below the poverty line.

The money the Boomers paid into the system went to paying benefits for the previous generations. False. The pension is fully vested by the workers receiving the pension, based on the taxes that they contributed. In fact, many elderly would be better off if the amount they contributed were invested in a hedge fund instead of Social Security.

No need for the unnecessary hostility. It’s obvious that plenty of young people are voting for your rich politicians too. US politicians can’t win with only 28% of the vote. And US elderly make up a substantial portion of those below the poverty line, and they don’t all vote alike anyway.

we’re still paying money into social security that we will never receive You don’t know that you won’t receive Social Security. That’s just pointless scaremongering. In any case, vote for legislators who will manage Social Security better instead of blaming everything on boomers.

Wait till those he sold it to find out that the membership numbers are full of people who have been permabanned and won’t ever see their ads.

I’m convinced that Trump is a big-time troll.

Current boomers have paid for 100% of their Social Security pension from payroll deductions from their working years. Social Security pensions are not dependent on young taxpayers.

Boomers are only 28% of the US voting population. Try again.

boomers are a chunk of the reason that the rich and powerful continue to be able to grasp and maintain power. Boomers are only 28% of the US voters. Explain why their chunk is more responsible and the younger 72%.
