Don’t hold your breath
I’m sure the current system will collapse, I’m also pretty sure that whatever comes after isn’t going to be much different or better. It’ll definitely not be “lets share honesty and fairly”, it’ll more be like “have you heard of this new thing called the tricked down effect?”
Maybe it could get better if you weren’t so sure that it’s not gonna be?
My retirement plan was to go into the woods to die before i come too much of a burden for the rest around me. But then somebody reminded me that forests probably wont be a thing anymore until then. So even my slightly sarcastic but very dystopian plan for retirement wont work out.
In Germany we have organic waste bins. I think I’ll just climb in one of them and close the lid
In Germany we have organic waste bins.
Sounds like some liberal commie alarmist woke propaganda to me. Here in God’s country, we put our organic waste directly into the coal plants 🇺🇸🦅
I believe you mean dump into drinking watersheds
That sounds suspiciously like recycling, you grass-smoking hippie…
I’ve heard stuffing your pockets with coins and walking into the sea is a thing. The sea’s not going anywhere and with the way things are going it’s likely gonna get a little bigger.
Coins? In this economy?!
Dirt-cheap, uh, dirt for the suicide on a budget then.
Sell tickets for people to watch you, an untrained amateur, fire yourself from a cannon. Go for a distance record and don’t set anything to stop your fall.
Similar outcome, provides entertainment (not useless), you can have all the proceeds go into a trust that buys a house in a rich neighborhood, and then make it a safe haven for unhoused people.
What retirement? This clowns who run the world now are behaving like selfish little kids! Arlechino Trump is acting like USA is his circus.
This, unironically.
I also have a shotgun in case plan a doesn’t work out. Hopefully my future landlord enjoys cleaning up brain matter.
Let’s play a random game of name your birth decade. I’m born in the 90s and have no retirement fund. Post the decade you’re born in and if you have a retirement plan
I have one but it is not well-funded.
I was born in the early 90s and also have no retirement plan.
I was born in the 90s, and we all have a retirement fund, want it or not.
Literally what happened to our grandparents and parents after World War 2. And then the subsequent generation will grow up in abundant wealth, developing a greedy attitude and cause corruption, resulting in social angst which will be exploited by demagogues. Then a new system emerges which promises a better life, but that system breeds yet another spoiled generation that will cause corruption which yet again causes social upheaval that will be exploited by ambitious individuals.
Rinse and repeat.
There’s a lot of good boomers out there protesting Ice. A lot of them also fought for civil rights and gay rights. I think a lot of what we’re dealing with is the fact that our system rewards the greediest most selfish individuals in the colonialist hierarchy because it a terrible system.
It hasn’t always been this way. We can change.
right guys?
You’d probably won’t be alive to reap the benefits after a global collapse happens.
The alternative is no benefits either sooo…
That more equitable system doesn’t come from nothing. Without preparation it will be like the end of the Roman empire, when local warlords, called knights, were organising the retirement plans for the peasants.
Lol fucking same. But as I’m getting older I have little faith in that anymore.
I’d be fine with just the states
It’s gonna take everything else down with it when it goes. We’re all part of the same machine.
view the world with american eyes, bury the past, rob us blind, and leave nothing behind
Selfish :P
Meme?
