And they can concentrate on eliminating pesky profit trimmers like overtime and even having to worry about providing any worker benefits.

The leftist Dems want all we Boomers dead so they can advance all their social and environmental agendas. Wages will be replaced by government stipends, workers placed in positions determined by government testing while in school, disarming the citizenry, expanding government into all aspects of our lives, state controlled industry (to oversee cli.ate change regs of course) ensuring that everything is drawn up on skin color and sexual preferences, (we mustegislate tolerance and acceptance) changing school curriculum that teaches total obedience to the state, getting all wealth and resources under state control and ensuring a younger population that needs little medical care. Again, thus ensuring that the much older, wiser leadership lives long and is there to watch over things.

There ya go. Pick your poison. Different rationales, same results. And yes this is satirical. I try not to take myself to seriously.

Us old people are the only thing keeping us out of the dark ages. I fear for the future of this country.

The funny thing is when I was younger I believed this climate science much more, but as I aged and all the predictions failed to materialize I started to question it. So, Nye might be surprised what happens to the younger generation as they age. Perhaps they'll start to see it differently too.

I'm not weighed down by fundamentalist indoctrination. I'm weighed down by experience. You're going to wake up one day and realize much of this is cyclical, and all the models were wrong.

If the numbers in your screen name indicate your birth year, you're not old.

It is my birth year, and I agree I'm not that old, but I'm 48 and to millennials that's pretty old.

I agree that the religious should go first. They have been crying about the Rapture. Well, let's see if there is anything to it...
