Hedge funds... Pension funds... There's a fucking major problem when it comes to it actually https://archive.ph/5HGZG#selection-661.0-690.0
It's not just money you put on the side in a box and it's yours, there's a world of fuckeries going on just to maintain them afloat...
There's a lot to say about it https://www.zerohedge.com/political/how-public-pensions-turn-cities-unlivable-hellholes
>Anyone draining from society does not deserve to be part of that society...
Again, be careful what you wish for...
>You’re conflating policy created by corrupt politicians and the contributions of common people.
Who voted for those politicians again? Hmmmm.... Responsibility....
Who would you say are the most corrupt politicians in office right now? Did you vote for any of them? Corrupt people are corrupt, and may be able to hold office without the support of the people. But regardless, being fooled by a politician is not the same as willfully existing as a financial burden
I also find it hard to believe that you don’t understand the difference between producing work for your entire life and setting money aside, whatever the vehicle, (and/or producing a responsible and caring family to provide for you in old age) and receiving checks of taxpayer money every month for your entire life
They got fooled yes, just like everybody else... At the same time, they didn't look too much into it... I mean after all, everything's fine the economy is booming what's not to like?
...
Now that they start to see the real consequences, where are the revolutionaries? Who's going to hold the so called corrupt politicians accountable? Who's going to pay for the fucking tab? Who's going to fight? Not them I'm afraid...

Maybe because that's not even a thing I don't understand, of course I do understand that, and MORE
If you understand the difference then how did we shift from retards to boomers in terms of financial drains? Do you think we’d be in a better position right now if every boomer had DS? I just don’t feel there’s a reasonable comparison to making a bad choice because it seems good at the time and being incapable of ever benefiting your community in any way
