Big Beautiful Bill Keeps Falling Apart, Will Pass Anyway
Big Beautiful Bill Keeps Falling Apart, Will Pass Anyway
The budget bill is springing lots of leaks on Medicaid, taxes, and the deficit. But when Trump demands a final vote, few Republicans will defy him.
You're viewing a single thread.
We're fucked. Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, medical research, public education. It's all not going to exist.
I don't even understand why the boomers want this shit gone — so many of them rely on Medicare and SSI entirely. They all claim that because they 'paid into it their whole lives' that they are due a disbursement. But like usual, boomers are concerned about theirs; none of us who have been working for almost 20 years at this point will receive the same benefit.
Nobody in that coalition wants to think about their shit real life pulling in social security and living in a ticky tacky detached shitbox off a stroad in a suburb; they all envision themselves as temporarily inconvenienced mega millionaires whose biggest problem would be the capital gains tax rate if only those dang immigrants, brown people, women, and purple-haired hippies would stop repressing them. It's e the American way!
Because they are fucking brain dead.
Because the most important thing to a Boomer is the identity of a victim who had it tougher than you and 'turned out fine', and you should stop whining and be grateful for everything you've been given, because your effort is always inferior to their effort, by definition.
They literally cannot cognitively concieve of the concept that they can be wrong or make mistakes or ever have made a wrong decision or supported a bad idea.
They are literally suicidally vain, they would rather be in a constant state of paranoid fear, delusion and confusion, and vote in people who literally will kill them by proxy by taking away their health, housing, retirement and food benefits... and then they'll demand their children take care of them.
Why do you think there is a whole social media trend of adult kids going no contact with their boomer parents?
They're absurdly delusional sociopathic narcissists.
(Disclaimer: I do not mean literally every single Boomer, obviously there are many who are not like this and are great people who've been trying to stop this madness most of their adult lives... but yeah, overall? The generation that grew up in the most freakishly abnormal explosion of broad societal wealth increase, class mobility and technological progress in the history of the country, possible the entire world... uh yeah, their frame of reference for 'normal' is an anomalous and basically unorecedented event in the known history of economics, and that has royally fucked up their perspective.)
(Barring what China's managed to do in the last 40ish years, anyway)
(Also, the main reason this economic boom occured was because post WW2, basically every single other advanced industrial society had been bombed into oblivion, and the US was the only country that could make shit at scale. Thats it.)
A boomer would eat a shit sandwhich if it meant that those after them had to smell their breath.
They don't want it gone. They don't believe their team will actually hurt them. Despite many years of the GOP promising to do it.
I used to believe the 2 party system made it into teams like sports, but I am thinking it is actually far worse these days. The vast majority of NFL fans for example will shit on their team players who make mistakes or make poor decisions. Drop a pass, keep missing tackles, get a drug charge.. fuck that guy, cut him. When people do fantasy football, or pick football pools of which teams will win or gamble online on games, they won't just pick their players or their team to win if they think they will perform bad and hurt their winnings. People will have bias, but if the Chiefs are playing the Raiders and your a Raiders fan, your still picking the Chiefs to win that game because it will benefit you more at the end of the day.
Party cuts your medical coverage, increases the age you can collect social security (your money you lended the government essentially), or downright deports one of your friends/family, and people still "pick them" to win.
Honestly, I'm in the EU and I fully expect the same thing to happen here, just more gradually than in the US. I will never be able to get out of social security what I've been forced to put in my entire life. And that would be okay if it meant it went to people who actually needed it...
It certainly does feel like a worldwide phenomenon, doesn't it? Hopefully that means there is a worldwide 'awakening from a bad dream', too.
Frankly, at this point, I want them to get $0 checks and realize they fucked up as they lay dying. My last fuck for those people went out the window a long fucking time ago. Congrats, they got exactly what they fuck they voted for. Now go run off and die and let us start rebuilding without the societal anchors they are.
they don't know anything about anything
