Bankrupt

Greetings good citizen (I'm tempted to continue 'Captain Obvious' here with another scintillating announcement that you already know all too well.) Today's offering is this headline about seniors that have lost jobs a dozen times over the course of just the past decade but this is news to no one, especially the 'failure to launch crowd' who can't find work at any wage because these oldsters are competing with them. It also is the answer to why YOU don't have enough leverage to demand a raise!

Not only are more older people seeking relief through bankruptcy, but they also represent a widening slice of all filers: 12.2 percent of filers are now 65 or older, up from 2.1 percent in 1991.

The jump is so pronounced, the study says, that the aging of the baby boom generation cannot explain it.

Although the actual number of older people filing for bankruptcy was relatively small — about 100,000 a year during the period in question — the researchers said it signaled that there were many more people in financial distress.

Makes you want to grab the next A-hole you see wearing a MAGA cap and and break their face. This is YOUR American Dream, right in front of you. Work your entire life only to file for bankruptcy protection because your retirement funds aren't up to the job they were supposed to handle.

Worse, the KOOKS that keep voting for 'free trade Republicans' sit back and laugh at you despite not being any better off than you.

[Did I tell you insanity is more widespread than originally suspected?]

Which begs the question, "Are you feeling Lucky?" What do you suppose the odds are of using the ballot box to fix a problem that rests outside the legal purview of any jurisdiction?

How many of you flag waving patriots consider yourselves lucky that you aren't Japanese? [Because in Japan if you don't have a family well-off enough to care for you in your twilight years your only other option is prison.]

Is that what you conservative freaks think should be done with the people who worked their entire lives here? [Zero irony these are the same people telling us how socialism sucks because it is THEFT. What do you say to the poor bastard the deck is stacked against?

Don't stare too hard in the mirror because that poor bastard looks mighty familiar, doesn't it?

I'd ask what's wrong with you but it is apparent the problem is LCD, you're STUPID (yes, all caps because it fits!)

How stupid and how do I know? If a pig is a pig and a duck is a duck then a buck has to be a buck no matter WHO mints it...yet STUPID ignores that a US Dollar will buy eight Chinese dollars while a Chinese dollar will buy four times what an American dollar will.

That STUPID is FRAUD but you don't see any bankers headed to jail, do you?

Yet here you are kissing the flag (they use to wipe their backsides with) and slapping one another on the back, shouting for all to hear what 'Great Americans' the people responsible for this criminal act are...

Truth is not kind and neither am I.

This is what you've condemned your children to and you should be ashamed of yourselves. You've had every opportunity to rise up but you waited for someone else to save you, help that will NEVER come.

So the real question is what do you 'owe' your kids?

Hasn't the answer always been much more than you had to give?

It's never too late to dethrone the tyrants...never.

Thanks once again for letting me inside your mind,

Gegner
