@mcnado@mstdn.social “wants to kill your grandma”—(raises hand—that’d be me, huh?)
Why kill grandmas, you might ask?
We’re on social security.
We use Medicare.
We might live in a house (lookin’ at you, Sec Bessent—ahem!)
Now imagine millions of us die
less social security to pay out
less Medicare to pay for
more houses on the market
I’ve never felt so determined to live to be 100+

@grammasaurus@mastodon.social @mcnado@mstdn.social Uff. I actually never thought about the Medicare and house part. That really hits... And it's just pure logic evilness. As can be expected of those people currently in charge in the US...

@grammasaurus@mastodon.social @mcnado@mstdn.social What about us Grandpas? Sure we do not tend to live as long as you Grandmas but I'm in no hurry to shuffle off this mortal coil.
