@JillFilipovic “Living longer” and “being able to do work at older ages” are not the same thing, sorry. This raising of the age also does very little for the actual demographic problem.

@JohnAnzo Actually this is one of the few bright spots in a long line of darkness. Especially since young women are much more liberal. Young conservatives could stop embracing fascism, but many of them like the thrill of letting go and loving Trump more than they like partnerships.

@ettingermentum XBB 1.5 monovalent update coming September-October. It matches pretty well with variant that’s pushing people into the hospital right now (EG5). I’d advise getting it to anyone who manages to avoid infection upon its release.
