To be fair, it's not like increasing the supply of donor organs available to children who, aside from needing a new [kidney / liver / heart / lung / pancreas / bone marrow / cornea / etc], are perfectly healthy, is a bad thing.

in the movie Never Let Me Go, it made Kiera Knightley sad to be a living organ donor for her "sister"

In the 2005 film The Island, rich people paid a lot of money to have clones of themselves created and raised to (artificially-accelerated) adulthood in order to act as donors (an "Insurance Policy") in the event that they were needed.

The clones were kept in an artificial environment and made to believe that they were the last survivors of an apocalyptic catastrophe, in refuge in shelters deep below the surface. "The Island" in this context was purported to be a Utopian region of the planet which had miraculously been spared, and "lotteries" were periodically conducted wherein certain inhabitants were selected to be transported there, where they were promised a life of comfort and ease.

In reality, "lottery winners" were those clones for whose blood or organs their patrons had developed a need.


It's a really good film, and I advise checking it out, despite the fact that the movie poster cautions potential viewers that it was directed by the same person who brought us such abominations as Armageddon and The Rock.

Snead/Perez 2024.

Joe is totally the sneaky behind the scenes vice president who hacks and controls all the media to propel us to the win. I think the slogan can be "Hope and Change", it worked very well for the last person from Chicago who ran.

runs as libertarian; literally hitler.

...We somehow have devolved so far in this country that we literally blame gun owners for these shootings …You all insist on only having the conversation with yourselves and waging war with the NRA. You're not waging war against a machine. You're waging war against people. People who have families just like you. People who grieve, cry and feel the same pain that you do when our kids are killed in cold blood in our schools, malls, movies and streets. The same people who want the shootings to stop. Who want to save lives, but just have a different idea about how to do it. Instead of engaging these people like people, all you do is call them disgusting monsters who want kids to die. Because you're too self-righteous and ignorant to believe there may be another way to approach this that's more effective than gun control.

With what guns? The confiscated ones?

And sure, maybe 90% of Gen Wu are too dumb to pour piss out of a boot, but that's true of every new generation of youth. To have a successful revolution requires a relatively small number of articulate, skilled leaders. The rest can all be sheep.

Of course, I agree with most of that, although the young people in this case aren't actually the leaders.
They're being supplied with scripts and talking points from middle aged leftists who are using the kids to cram their agenda down the collective throats of the public.
I posted the meme because simultaneously funny and sad.

Mahatma Gandhi didn't need them to start a revolution that freed his people - ironically it was a gun that killed him!

Anti-Semitic murder of old woman sparks emotion in France


...

Mireille Knoll, 85, was killed Friday in her apartment, which was then set on fire, according to a French judicial official. Francis Kalifat, president of the Jewish group CRIF, said Knoll was stabbed 11 times.

Two men have been jailed in the case, according to the judicial official, who spoke only on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to speak to the news media. They were handed preliminary charges of robbery, damaging property, and murder with anti-Semitic motives, he said.

Knoll reportedly escaped a notorious World War II roundup of Paris Jews, in which police herded some 13,000 people — including more than 4,000 children — into a stadium and shipped them to the Auschwitz death camp in Nazi German-occupied Poland. Fewer than 100 survived.

^ with regard to #2:

Social Security in the US is funded by contributions to the Federal Old-Age and Survivors Insurance Trust Fund and the Federal Disability Insurance Trust Fund. Thus, it is possible to say that it contains a certain balance, and that said balance is increasing or decreasing.

Welfare benefits such as AFDC with TANF, by comparison, are funded by line-items in the general Federal budget. As such, it's impossible to say whether they are "running out of money," as the federal budget is essentially unbounded thanks to the Fed's ability to utilize deficit spending.

If / when the funds which supply Social Security payments are depleted, the law will be changed to permit allocations to those funds from the general ledger, this permitting deficit spending to be used to fund them as well.
