But all the younger people who are completely on board for socialism, communism, and eliminating the 2nd Amendment can stay. That does seem to be the plan. |

In the current paradigm social security age would be the consensus. Certainly among millennials. "In Time" is another movie where people are genetically engineered to stop aging at 25, when a one-year countdown on their forearm begins. When it reaches zero, the person "times out" and dies instantly. |

Any "society" that tosses their elderly aside, or calls for their elimination, will forfeit their OWN chance for life eternal. The wrath of God will fall on all scum who call for the demise of the elderly. Bank on it. Well the Norse and Scandinavians marched theirs up to a cliff when they could not walk. Had a funeral helped them stand up and watched them fall backwards to the rocks below. If you really study history little if any cultures were willing to take on extra burden in a society. Not supporting just saying history is not where you should look Seeker 2 |

Quoting: Baby Xoda I don’t think we can allow anarchy can we? What kind of total freak thinks old people are a problem compared to feckless foodcard marxist public pencil sharpeners? There has rarely been a more life ignorant and useless batch of humans than the democrat crowd? I think they keep saying "kill the old" because in truth, they know how fkd up they are and its mehtal "coping" that its "not them". Too late and dam? Talk about CRAZY?

This was not the disease or the riots, those both are still on down the line. Garden garden grow spices and medical plants too.

So that's no longer an option. You could do it anyway, but then Bubba gonna give you dat virus every day in prison so where does that get ya? Embrace the cognitive dissonance. |

In my industry a lot of the info is in old books that are out of print as well as the trade secrets in the heads of the old guys. |

I saw multiple aerospace projects fail when I was an engineer. In every case, the old guys had retired or been laid off to cut labor rates. I was the Project Engineer on the Space Launch System for my aerospace company in 1988. We were behind schedule. We brought in a few retired veterans of Apollo and they got us back on schedule in two weeks. I remember one meeting where young engineers were presenting trade studies on the engines for the second stage. Young guys did not know which engine to use. Said they needed more trade studies and simulations. Apollo vet said, "Use the J2S. Trade studies, hell, we already built birds with it". They KNEW. |

User ID: 8233176 United States 03/26/2020 02:10 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | We need a balanced plan to beef up our capacity to treat the ill, protect the old as best we can via social distancing, and protecting our economy naturally (not by massive money printing bailouts) while trying to minimize spread through distancing and quick reactions to hot spots. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 76549089 With everyone home we have no idea who was at the store when so and so was there spreading the virus. If they are at work we know exactly who they contacted Social distancing? Ugh. How many idiots will be parroting off this new government term. They put plenty of thought and the social engineers are smart. See this isnt just a suggestion it will be a new way of life. The media training us showing us clips of i believe a mayor counsel men celebrating a night out at a local restaurant. Blasted on social media and showing us what happens if we talk to each other in public. I tried all week looking fore someone who knew someone. Been speaking with friends coast to coast and nothing. All 3rd hand reports. Media would be showing hospitals overflowing. People would be dead in the street in mass. These huge homeless camps would have been hit hard. Nope. Half the world shut down in unison fuck the virus what hell could they have planned for us? Jeremy M |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 76538212 United States 03/26/2020 02:13 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I'm just over 60, had a rough life, lots of injuries now arthritis and more. Very few days I feel good anymore. If the new generations want old folks to die off then they need to legalize assisted euthenasia first. I'd love to pick a certain day, do my bucket list the weeks before, say farewell to all my friends & family then have a last "birthday/deathday" party and go to my rewards out on some nice gentle fall asleep drugs. I worked in a retirement home before and most deaths were sad and lonely. No family, no last fun. I'd much rather leave on my own schedule and as a matter of fact, I probably will choose a day to depart on my own terms but assisted would make me much happier. Wouldn't want to botch it up and be a drooling vegetable on top of what I deal with now and as I age. |

In the current paradigm social security age would be the consensus. Certainly among millennials. That would be a big cost incentive too! No worries about paying out ss with an empty fund. But OP's title bothers me. Here's why, simply put with another question.... Would we even have the pretense of "society and civilization" left if we did? And when it was over, could we face ourselves? This needs to be mentioned... discussed. Don't beast around the bush... this will turn into hospice care for those diagnosed with ______ and over the age of____. Are we all ready for that? Have we that little faith in our own humanity? I am only asking the Q. J 17:15: "I pray not that Thou shouldst take them out of the world, but that Thou shouldst keep them from the evil. Truth, beauty and virtue ... all the things that THEY hate. All the things God loves. |
