The Watcher

@DaviesErasmus @DrChrisParry The problem of course is the benefit is paid today by today’s workers. The ratio of these workers to retired is far smaller than in the past. Then add in the people live far longer. In the real world you offer a state pension to the over 75s

@MaxYield100 @DrChrisParry As far as I’m concerned no pensioner should have to worry about money at their stage of life especially those who couldn’t save for a private pension as they didn’t earn enough.

Pensioners have prudently planned their retirement based on the state pension being available. That’s what they were promised while funding the pensions of previous generations.

@D_ByersArtist @marissenmark Problem is it isn’t high speed and if the quote is $90b you can be certain it’ll cost closer to $300b

@marissenmark We're a huge country~ high speed rail would be a blessing in Canada. it's time for us to 'get with it'.

The number of bots and anonymous/fake accounts coming out in full force against high speed rail in Canada is a sight to behold.

@PeterMcCormack Just remove the “until 25” from your post, then re-read it.

I’d like policies which help young people: - No income tax until 25 - No stamp duty until 25 - No welfare until 25 - No minimum wage ever But also… - No voting until 25

@wabbitwarrior The next few censuses will demonstrate this country is basically finished, ruined in under 40 years by snivelling politicians.

Weird. Whoever could have possibly thought that this might be happening...

@DaviesErasmus @DrChrisParry That’s roughly what the maximum possible CPP payment is in Canada. The average payment is about 500 quid a month though. Why? Because it’s an actual fund that you contribute to and it pays out amounts that will hopefully prevent it going bust. Relying on it sorely is folly.

@DrChrisParry 184.90 per week for the full basic State Pension (older system, pre-2016 retirees) let that sink in . How anyone could survive on that is beyond me.

@kateshilling69 @danazzo3 @Jenny_1884 Why avoid saying it was free and that, if poor, you received maintenance grants so that you could afford to go. Now? The youth get into large debts to have the same opportunity.

@MaxYield100 @danazzo3 @Jenny_1884 University was a luxury not many could afford, it was for the rich so the point is moot. Most of us left school at 16 to go to work. How many do that now? It's different times. Families didn't have the money to support their kids through uni as all the money went on bills

When I married in 1981 we both worked & most of our salary went on paying the mortgage as the interest rate was 15% at the time. Everything we owned was 2nd hand & we never went out for meals as we couldn’t afford to. We rented our TV Went to the launderette every weekend as had no washing machine. Only had new clothes at Xmas & birthdays as presents. We went without until we could save enough to pay for something. It’s always been hard whether you are young or old. So those out there that think we had it easy we didn’t. Our governments are to blame, not the old.

@archied009 @BenedictSpence Oddly the pension terms given to my boomer parents aren’t offered to the people today doing the same career they did.

@BenedictSpence I have a good private pension plus state pension. Never been so flush and happy. Keep working fella, maybe one day you can retire

Hell hath no fury like a Boomer who’s been asked to pay for something.

@DaviMd12 @luke_broyles Would you be a buyer at say 30k?

@luke_broyles Nobody is buying BTC at 100k. Who’s going to buy at 1 million? Genuine question 🙋

If Bitcoin is $1,000,000 in the 2030s while global assets are $1.5 quadrillion. Bitcoin would be 1.4% of global assets. $1 million Bitcoin is not absurd.

@kateshilling69 @danazzo3 @Jenny_1884 If you had gone to university how much would you have paid for it? 5-10 grand a year as is standard for today’s youth or zero?

@danazzo3 @Jenny_1884 Left school at 16 to work you mean as university wasn't the standard then. We also spent all our wages on bills then. Luxuries like new clothes were saved for. We didn't have the luxuries you have. Central heating, washing machines, smartphones, holidays, nights out. Try it

@Jenny_1884 @unsure_onion So you’re saying you didn’t contribute to those pensions and other services you collect?

@unsure_onion Don’t forget the wages were really low. I earned £21 per week full time

@Jenny_1884 @brodie_prime @LiliLapis30 This is where you fully expose your ignorance.

@brodie_prime @LiliLapis30 Wages were lower so no comparison

@babyepsilon @chrisbrunet @liberal_party @fordnation $19/hr lol. Makes sense no Canadians are bothering with such joke jobs.

@chrisbrunet Oakville Ontario apparently has no white people that can be hired... mycourier.ca/careers #cdnpoli #onpoli #racist #racism @liberal_party race based hiring is ILLEGAL @fordnation are you going to do ANYTHING AT ALL??

they just deleted this tweet

@SatoshiBagger Mining. Robosats. Coinjoins. Ez.

I need non - KYC bitcoin...

@alleria_eh So deranged you had to work in the donald. Rent free.

Doug Ford is replacing my city's ELECTED regional chair with some government appointed lackey. Fuck Doug Fraud. Trump style politics don't belong in canada

@Darcoby1964 @BBMagaMom I can…so the manufacturer can charge you $10 a month to keep the fridge running. And then they can leak your info in a “breach” 😂

@BBMagaMom I can think of zero reasons why my refrigerator, dishwasher, oven, washer and dryer should be on the internet. None.

🚨BREAKING: Samsung customers are pissed off to find out that they’re $2000 fridges are now displaying ads on the front, and if they disable them, they can’t use all the features of the fridge. WTF is this!?

@FightPoliceTO Peel? We know who then 😂

#PeelPolice are investigating 82 officers for cheating to get promotions. This would prove that corruption is widespread throughout the #PeelPoliceService. All this after Stacey Clark of the #TorontoPolice was caught helping officers cheat for promotions. thestar.com/news/gta/peel-…

@comic @ActuallyClimber dollar goes down, bitcoin goes up. fun bit is bitcoin could stay flat the next few months and your “5yr time horizon” will spit out a far higher % return. I suspect you won’t make such posts

@ActuallyClimber The number only goes up tech

I bet everyone who bought bitcoin in 2021 and held is tired of hearing the nonsense about it being a “30% CAGR asset” considering Bitcoin is up 17% the last 5 years and holding cash in a high yield savings account would have essentially outperforms Bitcoin

@Melusethia @iAnonPatriot Use your own language rather than one you stole. Right?

@MaxYield100 @iAnonPatriot Why, your to easy and emotionally unstable. I like to play with my dogs.

HOLY SHLIT, He absolutely COOKED her.

@Melusethia @iAnonPatriot Please stop posting in English.

@iAnonPatriot You are European Caucasians. Your homeland is across the sea. You can go back whenever ever you want.

@Will_Tanner_1 Just don't involve the "law" going forward then. Deal with it in other ways.

It is now effectively legal for blacks in blue cities to murder whites Why? Because juror ethnic in-group preference amongst non-whites, particularly blacks, means it is essentially impossible to get a jury to agree to hold a black on white crime defendant accountable So some career criminal in a fetid city known for being full of his sort can get away with murdering a cop because an illiterate, third world jury supported what he did
