    Oh, cool. Outlets like the Bezos Post and Cato and Politico have Big Thoughts ™ about things like Social Security and Medicare.

    We in Gen X always had suspicions that we going to get fucked on things like SS and had little belief there would not be a rug-pull later on, largely since baby boomers were such a large generation and people were living longer and so on. Also, the economy was looking pretty bleak when a lot of us started our careers.

    But also because the devious little conservatives of all ages have kept up this drumbeat of trying to kill it using bad faith bullshit arguments and deceptive terms like “ponzi scheme”, all while ignoring how it gets funded.
