Will all the retired Trump voters kiss his ass then off themselves?

He won't do it, and if he did Congress would never pass it.

It would be great if he could, social security is bigger than defense. The dollar would go a lot further, and removing FICA taxes would give even more spending power to people. Taking the dead weight off payroll taxes would make work more appealing and force layabouts to find a job when SS checks stopped coming in the mail.

Pyramid scheme. Endless growth isn't sustainable-- pull the plug on boomers and unemployed.

I wish it were more honest: just UBI everyone. Billionaires shouldn't exist.

Should a 90 year old woman "just go get a job"?

Taxing their income and they'll pass the costs to consumers or move.

I work for a living, so "get a job" isn't an insult.

@previous (A)
A 90 year old woman had so much financial opportunity that there's no reason she needs assistance. Spending all your money, and then expecting the next generation to bail you out when you don't save is shameful.

But if she's poor, your solution is to let her starve to death?

U know there are alternative reasons someone may not be able to work other than "layabout"

Anybody who is literally starving to death in the united states is doing so by choice.

Elon should cut subsidy to space X and starlink

Anonymous G replied with this 1 year ago, 2 hours later, 2 days after the original post[^] [v] #1,333,765

Starlink isn't even being subsidized because of lobbyists from "competing" companies and corrupt FCC leadership. They don't need it, but fair is fair and if the others are getting it so should SpaceX. The rocket side of the business doesn't need subsidies either, nor does Tesla's automotive division. He has always said he doesn't want these industries subsidized; but don't you agree it would be retarded to not take the money? Not taking it would just leave it there for some other major company which also don't need it.

Also, where is the 98% broadband coverage we were promised by Comcast and friends? It was never built. Money pocketed. For decades! Starlink fixed it in just a few short years, and suddenly now
that the Starlink service qualifies for subsides there's a rug pull and some retards want to argue that it isn't "real broadband Internet". I guess Elon forgot to pay the Big Guy 🤣
