I am this, exactly.

We had such hopes in 1993. I was not raised to love Reagan. The mood had shifted and there was fresh energy about what the future might hold. Old symbols were falling. Gen X was raising its voice. We had about a decade of this, then the Supreme Court more or less decided the presidency. The WTC attack killed any remaining momentum.

I didn't know the seeds were already there, festering, for this heinous timeline we're enduring. But now that I've arrived in the last panel, I see the horrible, efficient logic of it all. Capitalism is the means by which a generation of grasshoppers turned into a plague of locusts.

They both have to go.

It is 2035 & I am an assisted living nurse. Recent law has allowed me to euthanize the elderly because the baby-boomers are dying in mass numbers and human infrastructure & greed didn't account for a mass-exit from livin' easy.

Only the poor elderly, of course. It will never apply to the wealthy and powerful.

Also worth noting that the presidents from 1993 and 2008 are months younger than the one now.

If that's supposed to be Donny, they got the hair all wrong.
