Millennials and Gen-Z need to be fucking pissed about any one spouting the bs talking point that social security will just dry up by the time we retire so it’s best not to count on it. Social Security is something we’ve all paid in to, so it better fucking be there when we retire. That’s the deal. I realize there is a funding shortfall, but the fix is damn easy and simply involves removing the exemption the rich currently have.
I wonder who benefits from this bs. What's even the goal?
For the rich? For corporations? Paying less tax. The rich can afford to retire. They don’t give a damn if you can. Actually, better for them if you can’t since you’ll just be another worker in the labor force up until the moment you drop dead or can’t work anymore and become a homeless elderly person.
If you're under 50 and expecting to retire someday, I've got some bad news about the climate.
GenX here, so fucking tired of being forgotten.
Social Security won't exist by the time I retire and there hasn't been a single decade of my career that didn't have a major financial crisis so I'm basically fucked once I'm too old and broken to work anymore. Which is like in 15 years.
Sure thing, Vlad. Just quit.
So fucking glad you aren't in charge of labor policy
