    Haha. Now you’re just copying me. How sad. If you want to be an effective troll you have to actually find something that is true, original, or stings a little. But I’m more or less invincible to a spam bot like yourself. Because my life is your best case scenario and your life is my worst case. You could walk away from this conversation whenever you want, but your fragile ego won’t let you because your internet persona is all you have. Actually, I’ll show you how it’s done. Toodles, princess. Best of luck in your future astroturfing endeavors 😂🤣😂

    Lol. You’d have to leave your babushkas basement before you can try and make my life as shitty as yours. Astroturf all you want, and I know you will because it’s all you’ve got, but you’ll still be you. And I’ll still be me. And that’s a massive fucking “L” for you.

    Wait, you don’t get paid? You’re this much of a terminally online, lemmygrad schmuck, for free? That’s even sadder! 😂🤣😂. Ohmahgawd.

    Edit: the mental picture of you furiously logging into your alts to downvote this thread, as if that means anything, is hilarious. Cope and seethe , little buddy.












  • If you want to propose that the US should have better healthcare and other social safety nets, you’ll get no argument from me. If you’d like to propose that the wealthiest should pay for these things via taxes (or other lawful disincentives), I’ll agree with that too.

    But depending on how left or right you consider yourself then a significantly reduced, government sponsored, retirement age is a more complicated question. Someone on the right might tell you that an earlier retirement is a reward for the effort and ingenuity you expended through your life. Likewise, someone on the left might argue that you have a responsibility to be a productive member of society for as long as you are able. Even moreso if you are particularly talented. I, personally, believe that there is plenty of room for diversity of outcome without compromising equality of opportunity.

    My only point in my first couple comments was more than a decade of government retirement is not only possible but also likely for anyone in the US that makes it through their heart-attack years in their 50s, and that retirement earlier than that is possible based on education, career, choices, and luck. As illustrated by the fact that just over 50% of the US population is retired at 55. Everything after that was just antagonizing a troll. Which I find hilarious. YMMV.





  • Did you expect that younger generations would just inherit all their wealth? I’d have thought that this kind of landed gentry outlook wouldn’t be what a tankie like yourself would promote. Instead, due to the linear nature of time, young people of every country in every stage of human history generally have less wealth than their elders. Because they’ve had less time to accumulate it. What part of that are you struggling with?
