Imagine how much it's going to cost for our elderly (who are often on several prescriptions) to maintain their quality of life. And let us not forget all the chronically ill, disabled, and folks on maintenance medications. 🫠 Is this just some weird way to camouflage eugenics as an economic policy?

Does anyone else ever feel like they suffer from a Cassandra Complex? I was told I was overreacting in 2016 and again in 2024 and yet here we are. No one wants to talk about it though because "omg, can't you just let the past be the past." No. No, I can't.
