Who Needs Ice Floes For Granny? We Have The Streets.

Have We Mentioned Our Never-Ending Hatred For Everything & Everyone Lately?

Or why? Here's an excellent reminder: AmericaMurder, Inc. has decided that eating its young is too much work, & it's going after older people now. Figures.
Indeed, University of Pennsylvania professor Dennis Culhane showed in a study last year that the homeless population in the United States keeps getting older and older. As the San Francisco Chronicle noted, in 1990, the median age of a single homeless adult was 34; 20 years later, the median age was 53. In other words, fewer individuals in later generations have found themselves on the streets, but older generations are also finding it more difficult to get off them.

The problem is becoming increasingly dire, the Chronicle pointed out, because the average life expectancy for a homeless person is 64. (The average life expectancy in the United States as a whole is currently 79 years old.) In a decade, therefore, the United States is facing a massive surge in the number of homeless people expected to die.

Currently, there are approximately 400,000 homeless people in the United States who were born before 1964. Within 15 years, Culhane estimated, nearly every one of them will be dead.
If we allow the Millennials or Generation X or whichever cohort of jerks the idiots of my generation spawned to let us die, imagine what their children will do to them. Soylent Green, bit-chezz!!
