Ph yeah, no, I agree with that part. But the part about people waiting till they're old and then demanding. That part is something we are doing now. We just want people to be taken care of in general. It shouldn't have to be a worry for anyone of any age.

But I do agree that those who are lucky enough to be able to save should save. Cause even if shit gets crazy, having something to help you will be better than living in an apartment with nothing. Either way it's a win.

I wasn't even the person that your last comment was for. Try again.

Because things were getting worse. And they're still getting worse. And they will continue to get worse. We have charts and graphs and studies for a lot of different things showing things were getting worse, and have only continued to do so. Like the cost of living didn't just steadily go up with a steady inflation. It's been a curve. And then the last few years fucked us pretty bad.

Climate change. Still getting hotter. Still not slowing down enough. Some places are doing their parts, but places like here in the US, we aren't doing nearly enough. And a lot of the stuff we are doing ends up on backfiring because of capitalism. For instance, California banned the single use plastic bags. But a lot of reusable bags are plastic. The law is the bag needs to be a certain thickness and be advertised as reusable... So places just made thicker bags. And then people still throw them away. So each bag is now more plastic than before.

So yes. They gave us a warning. Things got worse.

So we got a second warning. Things still got worse.

Then rather than shutting up as you would prefer, they gave us another warning. Still getting worse.

I didn't even make it past the first paragraph. You legitimately made a terrible insult, then told them to take a seat because you're better at shit talking. For the future, don't brag about talking shit as a forn of talking shit. It just comes off as insecure and really kills it.

Which sounds nice, but not realistic. As others have also said, there will always need to be ditch diggers. Not everyone is going to be able to retire. No matter how many Eminem lyrics you know.

We aren't asking for tax payers money to take care of us in the way you're thinking. We are asking for universal basic needs. For the young and the old. Healthcare, housing, etc. To move past capitalism. Especially since we are already seeing the issues popping up. People are already starting to work later in life to pay the bills. We are already seeing a surge in elderly homelessness. Of people not being able to pass down anything in inheritance because they have health issues and need to stay in a facility which takes everything from them.

We aren't waiting to say "Now that we are older take care of us"

We are currently saying the system is broken now.

Yeah, there's quite a few contradictions. Like they're the ones encouraging everyone to start having kids. If people say they can't afford it, conservatives tell them they will find a way. So if they can't afford it and do, they're bad patents. If they can't afford it and don't, they're selfish.

Also we shouldn't spend other people's money on these people's kids for lunches. But we can spend even more of that money putting them on the system? Like it would be cheaper to just give them a breakfast and lunch at school. So even looking at it from a libertarian tax is theft standpoint, it's still spending money on the kids. But more.

I've seen a ton of republican voters say they're against it when ever the subject comes up. The argument being that if they can't afford kids, they shouldn't have had kids. And if they can't afford to feed them, it's better to have the kids taken away.

No.

Funnily enough my roommates dad actually went to Thailand for a bit after his divorce. Then him and his wife moved back here to the US.

Because you can't pick all of them up quick enough due to the five second rule.

Goes to check user account... Welp, that's actually pretty much what I was looking for.

Also, damn.
