 Am I the only one who feels the walls closing in around me? Countries are becoming unvisitable (UK, Canada, New Zealand, Australia… the list grows) and even in my own country, venturing from Florida brings challenges.

 True, but in all reality the boomers love their commie social security 
 No, they hate that they were forced to pay into it like commies, and now they want the retirement money they were promised back at old age

Reagan tried to fix this but didn’t go far enough god bless him.
