I really hate Politico’s playbook. What a fucking pain in the ass that mass of text always is!

      I’d say most of the boomers are on Medicare. Cutting Medicaid is more like direct punishment of the poor/disabled. Though Medicaid programs also help a lot people who qualify for Medicare but can’t afford it.

      Soon enough Facebook is going to be a sea of misery and that will continue for foreseeable future.

      I know you can never underestimate the intelligence of the average American but - holy fuck - non rich-boomers really shot themselves in the dick over and over and over to own the libs.

And “Loving life and your job!” and the text tries to put a positive spin on never retiring.
