I think we may have bigger fish to fry these days; billionaires love it when little people fight amongst themselves. It's high comedy because in the mean time they're well on their way to owning everything.
You can tell that you live in a society that's about to totally collapse when you see signs like this.
Or what? You get a ticket if you're not old enough? If you have a problem with not enough benches for everyone, maybe just make more benches? Not like they are expensive.
The anti-property tax propaganda is from the real estate hoarding corporate owners. As usual, these anti-tax wingnuts latch on to “why should I pay property tax (insert selfish reason here)” when the real reason is the real estate hoarding companies don’t want to pay property taxes on all the properties they’ve hoarded and are likely sitting empty. The same properties they used to price people out of homebuying, the same ones they used to increase rent super high because you can’t afford a home and will own nothing.
And of course anti-tax wingnuts don’t care that property taxes pay for schools, police, fire services,etc. (ain’t got no kids so why should I pay for school? My house has never burned down. Who needs cops when I got a Smith and Wesson?) and those things will still have to be paid for via some kind of tax, so in the end they still pay but the absentee owners get a huge tax break.
Whats the age are you considered a "senior"? I got the handicap part already, so thats nice...
(it actually sucks, but I make the best of it)
This is so ridiculous I hope it's fake.
Looks like a private sign posted on private property. Can be ignored.
At least add pregnant women so you're not a complete dick.
But honestly, fuck this noise.
I'm Gen-X and we usually get dumped in with the Boomers here in the US. However, ours was the first generation to get fucked. Like all those golden pensions of yesteryear dried up and disappeared as soon as we began entering the job force. So those a little older than us are kickin' back enjoying 70% of their retirement pay or whatever, often with health insurance (as opposed to Medicare), and we're stuck with shitty 401Ks that yield not only less assets but less secured assets because you can easily go through your entire benefits before you die, as opposed to the pension system. And, of course, our retirement today doesn't typically come with any auxiliary benefits such as healthcare. Plus most of us are assisting our elderly surviving parents and adult children simultaneously!
Surely, that sign is more expensive than any sort of additional maintenance cost from people using your bench...?
Where I live they also have housing exclusive to 55+ so it's much cheaper since there's a smaller market for them.
Ruins the housing economy and then holds some that's only available for themselves for cheap while they downsize for a massive nestegg.
In my town benches are the recreational place for teenagers. What are teens/young people supposed to do?
I'm disabled, but I'll gleefully cut the sign down and piss all over it in broad daylight. Anybody tries to stop me and it becomes a piss-coated harpoon. Every day if necessary, until they get the message.
That level of petty bullshit goes right back where it came from. I'm not at all opposed of going lower than my opponent - wtf are they going to do, try to get public and legal support for harassing a disabled person? Lmao
What if they're a homeless boomer? An unmovable object means an irresistible force.
Kids don't play outside anymore. Also Why are there kids outside!!!
The point is to create a rule that they can selectively enforce.
What about the younger handicap's? Are they all screwed because of those stinking Boomers? One day in the distant future we'll need to do something about those Boomers. /s
