        Neither did I. I’ve been aware of and concerned about the greenhouse effect since the early 70s. I was part of the first Earth Day. I was around and active for a number of anti-monopolistic decisions.

        It’s not ones age, race or economics that determine our ideals. It’s our ideals. You want to alienate our allies. You are pushing a hidden agenda or you are a tool of those doing so. I am awake. You are a member of a cult.

          And none of that will save you from your generation’s failure. You failed and you’re leaving a broken country to your offspring. Don’t make that my problem. 65 year olds shouldn’t be in office and that’s the end of it.

          If that hurts your feelings? good. It should. You should have to face your failure, and vote for age restrictions on people in office.

          Your leadership didn’t work. You led us here.

          You want to alienate our allies. You are pushing a hidden agenda or you are a tool of those doing so. I am awake. You are a member of a cult.

          This is incoherent old person rambling.

            Keep believing that it is your age that makes you good. That’s all you have.

              That’s nonsense. But if it’s all I have, maybe it’s all you left us. The burning need to make sure the old people get out of office immediately.

              You can demean it if that’s all your old person flailing can do, but you can’t shake that burning need.

                When I was young I blamed previous generations too.

                At least you will can rely on Matt Gaetz, Ron Desantos, Elon Musk to always do the right thing.

                  This is very precisely the dysfunction of the old: they think they’ve seen it all so they’re unable to listen.

                  At least you will can rely on Matt Gaetz, Ron Desantos, Elon Musk to always do the right thing.

                  More old person histrionic dribble.

                  Are you really this incapable of recognizing the problem that geriatrics face? You’re showing me precisely the problem I’m describing.
