    I’m a millennial and I think by the time I reach retirement age all our pension funds will have dried up.

      it’ll probably depend on how soon we stop voting for the democrats or republicans – we keep voting for the same people despite knowing that it’s causing this trend to happen.

      As someone with a decent amount saved in 401k I fear the same. The rich people will kill us.

    wow this is how I learn I’m doing great!

    not really though. I would need a second job to actually get anywhere in life. as is, I’m really just dying slowly, skipping meals here and there, and I’m only able to exist at all because my city has public transit and some social safety nets (more than most Americans at least.) If I needed a car for employment, I’d be completely fucked.

    unfortunately, I don’t think I could survive a second job. I’m quite frail, and what I do already takes a lot out of me. Especially considering that any second job would probably be in the service industry and require lots of standing/lifting/moving…yeaaaa ig I’ll just die.

        My parents aren’t boomers. I was referring to the fact that they brought me into this world to suffer under capitalism. Also, to add insult to injury they cut off part of my dick.

        They didn’t have to accept it arms open, especially after calling themselves revolutionaries.

      fwiw it worth, they likely didn’t know – all westerners are heavily propagandized to want the same things that the epstein oligarchy wants financially
