How does it work that the country with the most billionaires and the first trillionaire (at least he was for a while), can’t afford to take care of it’s senior citizens?
I can’t wait until this hits. I’ve fully accepted that I ain’t getting shit out of Social Security, but there are a shitload of boomers and other retirement aged people who are not going to understand this (or will refuse to understand it) until it punches them right in the taint (and the wallet)
And guess who’s president then! Just in time for the cliff!
“Its all [insert rival political party here]'s fault!!”
America has lost the plot entirely as a county. A third of them believe a government taking care of its citizens is bad.
The whole thing goes away as soon as you have rich people pay their share. It’s not a complicated issue at all.
It’s not.
And yet look at CA prop 40. That was the most “you have to be genuinely incompetent, or a billionaire, to vote no on that”. And it failed. Because humans are fucking stupid and emotional and impulsive and easily manipulated and susceptible to propaganda.
I wish people would think more.
I only expect SS to supplement my retirement funds. I ain’t counting on it at all.
Look at the guy over here expecting to retire.
Don’t accept it. Burn the country to the fucking ground if it ends up happening. I’ll help.
Who knew that you couldn’t keep stealing from Americans without them ever finding out.
Who is still thinking they’re going to be able to retire?
I retired at 42. Fuck it.
Lol people hate that for some reason.
I think people would love to retire at 42. You might just be a prick though.
I’ve found most people who retire young tend to be for some weird reason. Instead of just being chill and relaxed like you would be expecting from someone with no need to stress at a shit job.
Could just be a case of any time you meet someone who is retired young. You wouldn’t know it unless they told you. And only the assholes are the ones who tell you.
You don’t know me if you think I’m not chill and relaxed lol.
You’re thinking of vegans and linux users.
Mate your on the frediverse. Your one of us.
Lol
Gen X here, my retirement will be ok barring a catastrophe. Retirement is still possible, but I’m nervous for my kids.
i retired age 40, now 61.
lot of people retiring early
So you’re the problem.
Step 1: Be born into wealth
that helps with everything, or at least not being born into poverty.
