this kind of leads into OPs point I think. keep people from amassing any kind of wealth or savings by devaluing those savings. therefore keeping us on the treadmill in perpetuity

I don’t think you quite understand or appreciate the sheer technological advantage the American military has, let alone volume. it’s not even close bro they could probably take on and defeat all of the top 10 nations even ignoring nukes

my first reaction was that’s a rediculous amount, but its actually not that far fetched. my commute cost is $17 per day (AUD) which is pretty much half that. all it takes is a cheap lunch and a coffee to meet that total (obviously something you can avoid most days but you won’t everyday because “TeAm BoNdiNg” requires spending money to eat with people you don’t like

Marin_Rider , 8 months ago to Work Reform in What the hell is this shit? Instead of pushing for the return to traditional pensions, capitalism is celebrating the idea that Millennials and Gen Z may simply never be able to stop working.

did some idiot confuse “worried we will have to work until death” with “wanting to work until death”?

get fucked capitalist class. the minute I can afford not to work I will stop. the problem is you guys fucked the system so hard that it seems that point is so far away, or not attainable at all.

I feel so sorry for the retired boomers on good pensions in their big houses with nothing better to do than wish they were working again

end rant
