To get to that rethink, we'd be rethinking healthcare first, and that's not likely to happen either. -- nm - Max May 27, 11:21
I doubt it. -- nm - James Bond (aka Igor) May 27, 11:17
If you ask Trumpers, we should just let COVID take its course. Those folks are going to die anyway. -- nm - loosilu May 27, 10:34 1
- Trump should lead by example here. -- nm - Cuzzin Todd May 27, 11:08
it is the prequel to Logan's Run. The age of caring will just start moving to younger and younger people -- nm - Beaker May 27, 10:28 2
- At least Logan's Run pretended and there was Carousel -- nm - JD May 27, 10:46 1

  - *shrugs* My grandfather had to go into a home due to being uncontrollable with Alzheimers. He also had leukemia and other illnesses causing issues at - Spawn May 27, 11:22
  - Or improving conditions at nursing homes, because some old people can't be taken care of at home? -- nm - loosilu May 27, 10:34 1
    - Yeah, I mean, for those that can't of course -- nm - JackDawson May 27, 10:36
No. I also heard the "we'll all need to get it, if old people die, oh well" from a woman who is way more liberal than I am. - TWuG May 27, 10:27 1

For the rest of this year or beyond that? - Cuzzin Todd May 27, 10:26
I'm not hearing much outrage on the topic...which is maddening. -- nm - David May 27, 10:26 7
- Old people gotta die to reopen the economy. It's a trade off. -- nm - Cuzzin Todd May 27, 10:26 6
  - You say trade off, I say win-win! -- nm - Soylent Food Co. May 27, 10:32
  - I've seriously seen at least 50 posts that say almost exactly this. -- nm - David May 27, 10:31 4
    - My brother in law said something similar this morning. My sister claims he doesn't watch Fox News. -- nm - loosilu May 27, 10:35
    - My f*cking PARENTS have said almost exactly this. I then explain to them they're old people. - Cuzzin Todd May 27, 10:33 2
