You mean those government employees who also paid into the system theur whole working lives?
Not the way most pensions work

In theory it's supposed to be a sort of inter-generational covenant. Your parents paid for their parents retirement, you're paying for theirs. Problem is that a multitude of factors, and I'm just going to assume horrific management, mean everyone else is gonna be fucked.its a great program, but its a pyrmaid scheme. Imagine paying into it your whole working life and when its time to collect your money back they say sorry, were out. Id hate to be the president on shift when that time comes.
Ah yes, you’ve posted that before. It is despicable. I was thinking more that the current set of government employees are not expendable or unnecessary.
And firefighters and police are needed, but they are killing the taxpayer in some instances
They lived longer and had fewer kids.....So Boomers will basically be the last generation of Americans that can retire en masse. What a disastrous generation of people they’ve been for this country (and yes, this is all their fault). So many people under 50 in this country can’t afford a home much less having two kids and a owning a home and now to make matters worse they won’t even be able to retire. We’re so fucked as a country

We could solve this problem with a glock and few pallets of 9mm. The boomers have fucked the earth and all the future generations. I wouldn’t lose any sleep if we got rid of that selfish narcissistic bunch of assholes
I said this in 08 or 09. You need to start adding a week or two age wiser to qualify. Every year. The wage is too low and people love too long for it to be sustainable

Every generation has played its role in where were at today. Imagine what our kids are going to say about us in the future if they're sniveling little shits with no respect for their parents and no perspective on history.
I respectfully disagree. The average age of the members of Congress is 58. The house averages out at over 64 years of age (source: https://crsreports.congress.gov/product/pdf/R/R46705)
And that’s not even including the movers and shakers in the private sector who also heavily skew Boomer (57+ years of age). Gen-Xers and millennials have only just recently started to get a toe hold but we’re still ways away from having control of how this country, the world, is governed and by extension our collective future. In short: it ain’t our fault. Not yet.
That’s kinda awful. I said raise the age you said let em dieLiterally pointed all of this out at the dawn of COVID.
Let it run its course on em. Boomer remover
Either let them consume us or we consume them.
Yep. Kids mostly sick now. We’re already on track to raising an entire society of awful peopleEvery generation has played its role in where were at today.
