    You can only get more conservative when you have things to protect like a house and a pension.

    Most millennials retirement plan atm is die of heatstroke in 150 degree weather in a 8 person shared apartment in Alaska.

      I have a house and a pretty sizable retirement account.

      I will GLADLY take a lower home value, higher taxes on my retirement, higher taxes in general, so long as the ultra wealthy are also taxed accordingly.

      Or you’ll get more communist when you have people to protect, like children or friends who start getting sick now that they’re not young anymore

        I became a socialist because I was an “essential employee” during the height of the pandemic. I was treated like shit by my company, the customers, and the government while they sung my praise. I watched my grandpa get good cancer treatment with the VA (shocker, I know, but it happens) while my sister and grandma had to fight insurance for cancer treatment.

        We can’t make a perfect world, but we can make a better one. And it starts with a socialist economy.
