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 forgot the part where you get to call young people lazy

I mean okay but this person would've been a young adult during the Vietnam war and the war on drugs and died at 53 to avoid the war on terror.

I don't think dying at 54 is ideal...

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.
