Our Thumbs Up or Dumb as Fuck headline reads, Army Vet Ed Bombas, 88, says,

we'll receive one and a half million dollars in donations and surprise ceremony at work after the internet rallied to help him retire.

This is some pretty good, like just good, nice American shit, man.

Did you see this?

This comes from going viral here lately.

Um,

It's a beautiful story.

Let's dive into this.

The son of Army veteran Ed Bombas said his father will finally be able to retire and enjoy his life after his heartbreaking story raised nearly $1.5 million, a life-changing sum that will be presented to the Octangarian Friday in a surprise ceremony at his work.

Michael Bombas said his 88-year-old father, unaware of the still-rising massive payout, has been overwhelmed and profoundly moved

by the outpouring of generosity after he opened up about his financial struggles.

So here's the clip that started everything.

Let's check this out.

Well, they did just that because as of the time of the show, they raised one point six million dollars for this dude, man.

One point six.

Yeah, that's amazing, dude.

But here's the thing.

They bailed these companies out.

and they still took people's pensions.

Here's a guy who's worked his whole life doing everything he's supposed to do, gets his retirement, they went bankrupt, don't have to pay the pensions, get bailed out by the government, by the way, that's us, and he doesn't get shit.
