  That more young people are needed to contribute tax money to the retirement fund is a hoax anyways. Governments could choose to fund retirement funds through any number of ways. A wealth tax for example.

    But that would hurt the frelings of the trillionaires😢

    One of the contributors to the wealth redistribution was the move away from company pensions to “just invest in the stock market” 401k and the like. Pension obligations disappear and stock value goes up.

    I have to buy shares. They are given shares. And even if you’re getting shares as part of your compensation, it’s a fraction of what management gets.

    It still would rely on young people. Resources should be produced, they can’t just appear.

      Technically yes, someone has to produce resources, but thanks to modern technology. Each individual can produce huge excess of resources.

      Just way too many times this production capacity is turned towards producing crap we don’t need that breaks down after few uses.

      We all will die miserably because of “the economy”. Hoping for change is free though 🥲

  Be the Luigi you wish to see in the world, especially if you’re gonna die anyway

    My thoughts exactly. If you have nothing to live for and are planning to end it all why not become a hero and take a billionaire with you.

  Dr. Oz says we’re “Under-babied.” I’m sure he meant white folks, though.

  Turn that gun around and go out with a historic bang involving as many of the people responsible for fucking or lives as possible.

  End result will be the same for you; but much, much better for society!

    More old people should be thinking this way tbh. Like the old folks that volunteered to clean up nuclear radiation sites because they wouldnt live long enough for it to matter anyways

  Now now, don’t shoot yourself. After all, you’re not the reason those things are happening.

  Also the capitalist system refuses to pay the citizens with the fruits of automation, instead hoarding the wealth amongst the top 1% of the top 1%.

  Robots will help in your retirement. Robots you can’t afford.

  • diffaldo@lemmy.dbzer0.com ⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

    Fuck robots, they suck 😡

    • IhaveCrabs111@lemmy.world ⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

      Those are even more expensive

  There are enough people because productivity is really high and has dramatically risen.

  Capitalism just makes sure most of the fruits of labor never end up in your hand. So unionize!

  I don’t understand why you don’t ask your parents for a trust fund safety net then make a scam ass crypto AI startup to funnel money through. What are you stupid?

  What they DO NOT want you to do is contaminate multiple tons of fertillizer with diesel fuel
