Buuuuuuut... who needs Medicare when we have Ivermectin, the Wonder Drug of the 80's?!? 😆

And SS is socialism. Besides, it's better for old folks to scavenge in garbage cans for food because ONE - they get exercise, and TWO - it keeps their weight down! So says the Musk Rat. 😆

Which is great. This will lead to new demand for cheap drugs such as .... ivermectin, say. 😆

The last time, it took 25% unemployment and people standing in lines at soup kitchens for people to learn. 😆
