(111,256 posts)1. That sign would cause me to turn on my heel and leave.
While we've had twice as long to "get" the money, we spent most of it supporting that sign owner's generation's ungrateful asses and have little left to retire on and no way to earn more.
And that is why sensible businesses offer senior citizen discounts. They know they'll be old someday, too.

young people
gay people
black people
hispanic people
union members
single mothers
and poor people.
I swear, I don't know how they win elections.
Funny sign though.
