So you agree to taking the cut to 73% now for your generation? You would
champion this policy to your cohorts?

Those are the two choices, eh? Nothing or cut to 73 percent when?

And I'm really confused by the fact that you said earlier that a reduction to 73 percent in 2042 wouldn't affect me, but now you're saying that I agree to taking that cut.

Who are my cohorts?  Statistical cohorts?

And now, a bit of sarcasm.

If there's a crisis, so perhaps we really shouldn't be taking time to talk about this, given that crises demand immediate action by strong leadership, staying the course, etc., etc. No time to plan, discuss or debate, it's a CRISIS! Discussion and disagreement are signs of weakness arising from failure to face the emergent nature of our real situation. Thank goodness we have action-oriented leadership that doesn't waste any time or energy in such a frightful situation, when every millisecond counts.

Harrumph.
