Inspiring?? ๐Ÿ˜ญ AAAGH!!

Okay but honestly the expression on his face kinda looks like he's one of those people that chooses to work because he prefers "working" & being out in the world seeing lots of people every day & feeling useful rather than sitting at home doing nothing.

but 103 years old?! At Walmart?! AAAGH!

Maybe it's inspiring... to behead some people that make that a reality.

I wish Luigi had been undetectable, had never been caught, and was still a free man as a superhero running around the world repeating his heroic deed to all nefarious people who deserve it.

Welcome to the future of America!

Welcome to the ~~future~~ present of America!

Disgusting. Contrast this with a similar story in the news of a 103 year old Italian.

The US treats its most elderly citizens as meat for the slaughter. In the future, when dystopian fiction writers reach for metaphors about true evil, they won't write retellings of german nazis or things like the Sith, it'll all be based on the late American empire.
