I enjoy how 2 weeks ago most people had a kill the boomers rhetoric, and now it's my grandma/grandpa. It's (likely) a change for the better, but one I haven't

  > most people Who were these "most people"? I've only seen this from a few random twitter people, plus the aforementioned Texas lt governor, who is presumably a psychopath (and a stupid psychopath, too; who, precisely, does he think is voting for him...) He was, to some extent, only saying the quiet part out loud, though. Those calling for ending restrictions within the next few weeks are saying "let's kill the olds for the economy"; they're just being a little more euphemistic than he was. The funny thing is, even if some country did this awful thing, it almost certainly wouldn't work; a million dead senior citizens isn't really conducive to a normally functioning economy. People would be absolutely traumatized (and rightly so), and there wouldn't exactly be much discretionary consumer spending.

  The "Boomer Remover" stuff was largely gallows humor, not a genuine public policy proposal.
