@MaxandCarrie My rescue boy dumbo does the same. I call him my sous-chef because he just sits politely and quietly in the kitchen watching my every move.
@Mr_Andrew_Fox You forgot to include the millennial/gen z’s screaming about taking grandma’s pension away and grandma screaming about the cost of funding her grand kids useless degree…fun times.
@AriGoldkind@elonmusk I was quoted $4000 for an ear flush after spending close to $4000 on different medications, vet visits etc for a recurring ear infection that my poor rescue basset has had for the last year. Vet prices need to come down. No one should have to choose death over treatment.
@StephanProwell@redrumlisa You could literally apply this argument to anything, welfare, healthcare, subsidized housing etc. It’s all currently unsustainable. The UK has significant problems, but let’s rage bait on social media about old people collecting a meagre pension.
@redrumlisa My nana, a single mum, who spent her entire life working retail is 89 years old. She lives in subsidized senior housing and for the first time in her life has enough money to feel comfortable. It took her 80 years to finally have enough money where she can live comfortably.
@redrumlisa@drgerke1 Those arguing for some sort of means testing and setting arbitrary parameters to determine who is worthy of a pension and who isn’t are frightening. Everyone pays into the system!
@redrumlisa My dad passed 8 months before he was to receive his first state pension. He was a retired automotive worker and shop steward and fought hard to keep the pension he as never to collect himself.
@it_is_fareed@redrumlisa But wasn’t this to be expected with an ageing population? I’m not sure why the cost of supporting elderly people is breaking news?
@redrumlisa I find it interesting how the response from the generation who has had the mistaken away from it by the boomer class responds in kind by wanting to take away what the boomer class has. It’s a typically short sighted and spiteful ‘gotcha’ approach.
@preta_6@AmazingZoltan My trade unionist grandfather and father are rolling in their graves. The not so funny part is that these people actually think they can govern a country.
@yuanyi_z The British legion is fantastic. My Father in law never received his medal from his service in Yemen. I reached out to the legion, provided the information they needed and was sent one within 3 weeks.

@PaolaQP1231 I haven’t stepped foot in a Tim Horton’s in over 6 years. I refuse to give my hard earned money to corporate slop. At least my local Starbucks employs local youth and has reasonably good coffee.
