U.S. CENSUS: Older people outnumber younger people for the first time in recorded history.
So that's why the world has gone to shit?

PRESIDENT TRUMP WANTS STATES TO RUN WELFARE PROGRAMS — says it would slash fraud by 75 percent.
Make it the states pay for it from their own tax dollars and I'll buy in....

READ THE COMMENTS BEFORE YOU CLICK ON THE LINK: Not all graduate degrees pay off.
I'm retired now, but the comments pretty well match my experience as a (now former) PhD. With respect to STEM-related degrees the BS is pretty much an entry point. I already had some prior technician experience before the BS degree; it helped during the initial job search. The MS degree is useful in pursuit of a particular specialty. Otherwise, no. Doctorate? A vanity degree, economically worthless. I did it just to prove I had the wherewithal to complete it, but economically it was a loss of tens of thousands over my working lifetime.

BUSTING ANOTHER MEDIA MYTH: Contrary to legacy media claims, political violence has always been a specialty of the Left, not the Right.
THE WHITE HOUSE responds to Dymocrats (spelling intentional).
1. Dymocrats refuse to condemn Socialism.Enough said....
2. Every single Dymocrat voted against the largest tax cut in American history.
3. Extreme Liberal Dymocrats voted against holding Iran, the world’s largest state sponsor of terrorism, accountable.
4. Extreme Liberal Dymocrats voted against the Stop Insider Trading Act.
5. Dymocrats voted against healthcare price transparency.
6. Dymocrats have unanimously blocked commonsense election integrity measures like Voter ID.
7. Dymocrats voted against protecting girls in women’s sports.
8. Dymocrats voted against protecting children from taxpayer-funded transgender treatments.
9. Dymocrats voted against the Laken Riley Act.
10. Dymocrats forced two unprecedented government shutdowns.
RANDOM THOUGHT: Since the Democratic party and its progressive sycophants have shown a propensity to rename/create new names for normal well known/well understood things, I've decided to try renaming myself. From now on, on Shadow's World Democrats will be known as 'Dymocrats'; pronounced 'dim', which they are, and with the 'y' to acknowledge their allegiance to gender issues.

My favorite: Now go see them all.
