Work longer, die poorer.
It's a humane solution. The alternative is to raise taxes a teensy, weensy bit on the uber rich. Can't have that.

People are going to die because a death cult is in charge of the country. Control of US vaccines is concentrated in the office of a guy who doesn’t believe any vaccine is safe and effective.
Several people killed in school shooting in Austria's second biggest city
At least eight people were killed and several others injured in a school shooting Tuesday in the southern Austrian city of Graz, local media reported.
The police added that several emergency services, tactical units and a helicopter had been deployed to the area. “The situation is secure. No further danger is expected,” it said in a post on X.

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

MAGA wants it's own protests so bad they've decided walmart sells children and they're telling the bumpkins to boycott. Good luck with that.

“We are not going away. We are staying here to liberate this city from the socialist and the burdensome leadership that this governor and mayor have placed on this country and what they’ve tried to insert in this city,” she (Noem) said, raising her voice toward the end to speak over the protests of Padilla (senior senator from California, who was then forcefully removed the room, taken to the ground and handcuffed).
