Something we don't talk about enough is how the unemployment crisis is mostly caused by boomers refusing to retire from jobs a young person can do better
@Doomerzoomer This generation.... please, just get off the train. Live the life you want. Then, when you are done being able to work, and you still have to live for 25 years without an income, reap your rewards. Only stupid people who can't see their life's potential make comments like this.
Saving for retirement is stupid.

@CaliRN619@grok Get used to it. You bitches love socialism, it’s about time you woke up to the advantages and disadvantages of the system. You’re helping your neighbors who didn’t plan, couldn’t save, or didn’t give a shit.
The average America GenXer started working minimum wage jobs at 15 and we’ve never stopped busting ass since then.
According to @Grok, if I had invested my money into the S&P 500 instead of paying social security and Medicare taxes, I’d have approximately $1.5 million in retirement savings.
I’d be able to retire at 55 and live on $10k per month until I was at least 85!
Is there any normal American who wouldn’t prefer this instead of begging the government for scraps until the day we die?
According to Social Security, if I retire at 67, they’ll happily pay me $2,200 minus ($300 for Medicare) per month. How much are the illegals and asylum seekers getting? It’s way more than I’ll get!
Why are we still letting our government abuse us?
@RepSwalwell Dude, your lips are moving. You're full of shit. How do I know? You were so willing to put out false information and lies about others. You had no integrity then; you have less now.
@bronzeageshawty Keep posting how little you know about financial matters. It's a service to all others who aren't interested in creating the wealth they are all bitching about that others have. How do you think the rest of us average Joe's got our wealth? Someone magically gave it to us?
401ks are stupid. "Wow, I can't wait to finally have 600 thousand dollars at age 65 to last me the next 20 years. I'm glad I spent 40 years as a slave."
@jonbrooks Maybe incredible… my 89 yo parents today, bought their first house for $15K. I paid 7.5x (starter home) that for mine. My children, age 30, bought theirs for 3x of mine.
Absolute horror on Al Jazeera. Live footage confirms the US and Israel are actively following through on threats to bomb civilian railway lines in Iran. Rescue workers are desperately pulling innocent commuters from the wreckage. These war crimes are sickening.
NEWS YOU WILL NOT SEE ON FOX NEWS:
California GDP surged 40% (to more than $4 trillion) — accounting for more than 14% of US output, since @CAGovernor Gavin Newsom took office in January 2019.
- China expanded 32%
- Germany increased 16%
Don’t forget: Pete Hegseth’s broker tried to buy millions of dollars in defense stocks before the Iran war began.
It’s absolutely appalling, and I’m pressing for answers.
The American people deserve leaders they can trust to put national security ahead of their personal financial profit.
@trouble_man90 In our house, they’ve been exposed for extreme bias and misleading the reporting. In terms of going to the right? It might just be a slow march to the middle, which might feel like it.
Clearly something happened behind the scenes to make our mainstream media a press completely bow down to the right. Is it simply blackmail or did something more extreme take place??
Terrifying reality check. Al Jazeera confirms the US and Israel have bombed over 760 schools and 350 health centers in Iran. They are intentionally obliterating mental health hospitals and residential markets. The scale of these war crimes is absolutely sickening.
A French journalist in Iran confirms Trump and Israel bombed:
• 8 pharmaceutical factories — including a cancer medication facility
• 60 pharmacies
• Hospitals
• One of the oldest medical research institutions in the region
These aren’t military targets
They’re lifelines
Iran is run by PhDs, Scientists, Medical Doctors, Engineers, Philosophers - people - seeking to advance Life.
The US regime is run my Zionists, Pedophiles, PR agents, Spin Doctors, Lawyers, Real Estate Agents, News Reporters - idiots - raping & pillaging, delivering Death.
Imagine if Iran bombed and destroyed the Golden Gate Bridge in California, what would you call it? TERRORISTS
The U.S bombed and destroyed the highest bridge in Iran, the B1 bridge, why do you call it “PEACE”?
Bombing a bridge is a war crime under international humanitarian law
