oh great, yet another avenue for younger generations to bleed more of their IQ (and by extension wealth) off.
at some point this shit-show is going to come home to roost.... (wait...that's happening now multi-generationally with trump)....

I hear tales of evening strolls that entire towns would conduct after dinner hours, stopping on those front porches that we no longer use. Many towns seemed like ongoing parties 100 years ago. No more of those!)

- JetSpiegel 9y agoIt's just eugenics propaganda, although you can make the case for that interpretation to be unintended. Good comedians never let facts or good taste get in the way of good jokes, and Idiocracy has some interesting observations, but the framing device is repugnant.
