How can we fool another generation?

Unread postby Schweinshaxe » Thu 09 Mar 2006, 19:20:46

Yes, how do we make sure I can retire and be able to do old people stuff when I get, well, old?

As we well know, the baby boomers have left a goddamn mess for us strong, beautiful 30 somethings to take care of. They will be able to retire and play boccia in Saint Tropez and drink Chateau Latour all day while we have to work our asses off to pay for their life in luxury retirement resorts. Old men strutting around in designer shorts and taking their blue haired ladies in Gucci dresses to cocktail parties every night.

You get the picture?

How do we postpone the PO and NWO world and fight off the Zeta Reticulans for another 40 years so that we can do the same thing? I mean we only have to keep things going for another generation. The baby boomers are too old and senile to know about those issues and the teens of today are to busy yobbing, smoking crack and listening to gayass boy bands pretending to sing.

Here's my plan: We have too fool the teen bastards to start to work for us. We have to tell them that India or China is the place to be. We have to tell them that by going to India or China to work and send home what they earn in gold to us, they will be saved from great evil and wickedness. We have to come up with a more convincing obscure future threat than PO if we want this to work out though. Squirrel Flu, a Nazi-Cobbler from Hell conspiracy or something like that.

This is the perfect plan! We could PARTY our old crusty asses off while our offspring WORK their asses off in sweatshops in the third world. Hell, we could even meet in secret fornication camps to keep a steady flow of workers to send away going.

Isn't this a great idea?

Please tell me what you think!

I've started a chimney sweep business.

Next up will be a number of water driven mechanical looms, the problem is you need small people to fix and maintain the looms.....

Offshore the business to India. It's cheaper to send a chimney to India to be swept than to sweep it at home. They have millions of little Oliver Twists over there to do the work for you.

So you don't expect a crash in the next 20-30 years? The boomers might have a few years to party but in the end I'd rather be young and able to work when TSHTF. Old people used to be kept around for their knowledge and wisdom, the boomers don't know shit about living in a rapidly depleting world. Now my grandfather... if I could keep him around when things get bad...

I think it would be a good time to learn how to be a farier.

The point is that we have to find a way to postpone TSHTF for another 40 years. It can't be that difficult. We could for example vote the Enron criminals into power or something.

hmm, I don't think we have much to offer them (just like the boomers). Fascism or maybe NBC's most 1337 farmer? Face it, at 30-40 we are best fit to survive in a crash, medium ground... not decrepit, not stupid.

No offence to the decrepit or stupid of course.
