    Jokes on you, I nor any of the people I know, have a retirement fund lmao. This will overwhelmingly hit boomers and upper middle class yuppies in corporate jobs, and tbh fuck em both. If you work for a corporation and chose to be a stooge, you’re also part of the problem.

      This whole comment screams projection to me. Having a retirement fund is fairly normal, even if you aren’t making the most money in the world.

        no. it’d not normal. there is an entire cohort of non-working class without retirement, and working class folks with one half a paycheck from disaster.

            for sure. from a statistical standpoint i would reckon “no retirement” out numbers “a retirement” sadly.

        I think you are missing the fact that our pensions are going to be shit or not exist entirely. A retirement fund has to be much larger to cover what Boomers and earlier did because they had good pensions.
