    No they are well aware of how the economy is and how much everything cost. It’s just that raising the minimum wage would cut profits for businesses and they won’t do that unless we force them to. (And not by voting lmao)

    GenX here, guilty. Just started a job for $15/hr. 11-years ago I started an IT job at $16/hr., and that was pretty good, more than I’d ever been paid. Hard to get your head around inflation when your attitudes where concreted when decades younger.

      I don’t think they should get killed, but I think they should fear getting killed. It’s the lack of fear that causes them not to even think about normal people when they make decisions.

    Term limits were a compromise for the olds.

    We need to stop compromising with old people, and start hurting their feelings until they resign.

    Age limits hurt boomer feelings, and that’s a good thing.
