It's stunning how many people seem to forget that there are other countries on the planet that use dollars and weren't involved in Vietnam. No, I'm not making an assumption. The person who posted this is Canadian.

Y'all really need to take a step back and reflect a little bit.

You have to be at least middle class and "white"/seen as the dominant demographic for this to work out. Just like every other place and time period.

Life for seniors is ok. About to get a tax break on SS benefits. Would be 78 this year. Possible to get another 12 years of senior benefits. Trump was born that year, so things can work out past 2001.

Only to live during a time where hate and sexism was rampant. Nah, chief, I don't wanna live in that period. I'm good.

Look around, you already do. You always did. There's a lot more people willing to do the right thing and speak out against it now... but I wouldn't count on that lasting much longer.

The bio of old television personalities is always that they took a wrong turn into the BBC reception and got hired on the spot.
