      What happens when social security does run out and the millennials and gen z who have paid into it for years get 0 benefit? Ok, we’ve helped the boomers retire. But then when we need it it’s not going to be there.

        Only if we let the GOP and MAGAts control the narrative and make people not understand that minor reforms can make it feasible for DECADES longer than the projected 2035 at current funding rates. But people are stupid and greedy, which is (one reason) why the GOP still has as much power as they do.

      These dumbasses call me a boomer. My parents were boomers.

      All you gotta do to score some upvote dopamine is throw that word out there. Score!

      And yes, Boomers, GenX, Millennials and GenZ, all of us deserve what we were promised. And we will get it. Won’t be enough without some work and planning during one’s working years, and won’t be as fair a deal as the older folks got, but Social Security is going no where.
