Aarp is supposed to be the lobbying force the grey panthers created. Perhaps it once was. In 2026. It's just another corporate profit scheme. A ruse to placate the many seniors. Co-opted by?
Probably infiltrated by the powerful to render a once powerful lobbying force meaningless, with a bonus beyond placating seniors and creating a financial reward to silence seniors. Give seniors a voice that dissolves the voice of reform into the neatgerlands of attrition/die off. The road map the Reagan admin created to boot vets out of federally funded veteran homes. And instead melt those men & women into the va medical system before being dumped on the streets. Homeless. The attrition die off in the late 80's early 90s was both massive and largely undocumented. One of the USA governments many sins against "we the people".

If it doesn't rankle you, piss you off bc, oh well. It isn't happening to me

Shame the fk on u!
