    Boomers want their safe space from COVID-19. Send the Boomers to Mars. End the Lockdown. Let the rest of us live in peace.

    Of course this would mean every Soylentil would be leaving for Mars. Everybody knows SoylentNews readership is 99.9% Boomers.

    Goodbye Soylentils. Fuck off. You will not be missed. Never come back.

      You asked for it. The Final Solution to COVID-19:

      The Great Lockdown only exists to provide a safe space to Boomers.

      Boomers do not deserve a safe space.

      Boomers do not deserve to live.

      Dear demented Boomer retard,

      The Starbucks won't deliver anywhere. The Starbucks is closed. Everything is closed. Everything is closed because of you.

      Unlike you senile Boomer scum, the rest of us don't get paid an unearned pension. The rest of us don't get paid, because of you.

      Unlike you worthless Boomer shit, the rest of us don't get preferential treatment in the bread lines. The rest of us eat scraps after you take everything from the bread lines. The bread lines exist because of you.

      Boomer, do us all a favor and fucking die.

              Must have been nice to grow up in a country where education mattered because you only had America for competition, rent and mortgage were 1/5th to 1/4th your monthly earnings, your "paltry" $6/hour was the $18/hour today boomer managers think is too much to pay, you had upward movement in your org because people actually retired or hired within, and you had the possibility of earning a pension.

              Sadly you hated your wonderful life so you ruined the possibility of it happening for anyone else.

      Brilliant advice, moron. Let's regress further to the schoolyard taunt of "I know you are but what am I." That one was contemporary to your childhood, wasn't it?

      I notice you're not even bothering to deny the fact that the COVID-19 lockdown was imposed by Boomers to protect Boomers. Maybe the Boomers should stay home themselves instead of forcing everyone to stay home, hmm? Maybe the Boomers wrecked the entire economy because the consequences don't affect them personally, hmm?

      Never mind. You're too stupid to understand the situation. Vote Trump!
