Alt headline: “Boomers Ruin Economy via Exploitation and Wealth Extraction, Retire to Areas They Haven’t Ruined Yet”
Pull quote: “It just feels like there’s too much clean air and hopeful youth. I’d really love to be able to relax in my old age, but I just don’t feel like I can rest when there’s so much we haven’t destroyed.”
Trash the place and leave
Probably still vote for Republicans overseas to fuck us even when it doesn’t affect them.
“Wish I could retire, I need the medical insurance”. Continues to vote Republican…
“Wish I could retire without worrying if social security will be available next year”. Continues to vote Republican…
Can’t wait for boomers to all die
Boomers dying will change nothing. The problem isn’t boomers, it’s the capitalist class.
It will actually change a lot. There’s a famous saying in physics: “Science makes progress one funeral at a time.”
Specifically, according to Max Planck: “A new scientific truth does not triumph by convincing its opponents and making them see the light, but rather because its opponents eventually die, and a new generation grows up that is familiar with it.”
Obviously, politics is much more biased than physics, so deaths will have an even more progressive impact. Boomers (and Gen X) are ideologically bankrupt with views radically divergent from those of younger generations and scientists generally. The reasons are obvious: culture, wealth, lead poisoning, etc.
What a shit article.
Fawcett, now 67 and a Spanish resident through marriage, couldn’t be happier about his decision.
Susan Keenan Sweeney and her husband, Joe, who moved to Hungary in 2015 (Joe was born in Hungary, but moved away as a child)
They give 2 examples and both had solid “ins” that most of the rest of us do not have.
both Fawcett and Sweeney are satisfied with the standard of care they’ve received, including through surgeries and major procedures like colonoscopies.
A colonoscopy is not a major procedure.
