How many years over 40 are they allowed to be, before the door slams on us. Maybe they'll give me back my old IT job if push comes to shelve. That may work, since all my enemies there have left.

Anyway, that's America for you. Force a brother to retire early from a high paying job, then complain aboout it 15 or 20 years later. And have the audacity to say he got over 
. What's even more messed up is, I had to hear a sister accuse me of this. But when it's a White man, it's seen as exercising their benefits.

Asking regular-ass people to successfully make financial decisions that project 50 years into the future isn't going to work in real life. That's how you get millions of destitute elderly people on the streets cause they can't afford rent. Which is the exact problem SS was designed to address.
Plus, what do you do if there's a stock market crash or the bottom falls out on some major asset right before people retire? You have to have some sort of safety net.
wtf are you talking about? That's not how SS currently works.
Fukk these greedy corporate / private capital CEOs
With the combination of automation and AI, there's really no reason that we shouldn't shorten the work week to 25-30 hours. Especially when lots of European economies already give their workers 6-7 weeks off a year. They're going the opposite direction which is only going to push more and more people out of the formal economy and half the workforce is going to be desperately trying to hustle their way forward.
They're hardly getting taxed as it is.
Wealthy Corporations Are Paying Their CEOs More Than They Pay in Taxes
Tesla, Ford, Netflix and T-Mobile are among scores of profitable U.S. firms that pay their top executives more than they pay in federal taxes. It’s a system that rewards the super rich and punishes the rest of us.

They say it helps with growth which is not true as they have decreased the amount of product in packages and cut employees while increasing upper management pay packages as well as spending money on "expenses" to decrease taxation. Oh, and they get subsidies and bailouts like a mofo. They have hoarded so much power to the point politicians are afraid to even look in the direction of taxing them because it might hurt their election chances. So frustrating.They're hardly getting taxed as it is.

I'm not a believer of "nobody should be able to be a billionaire", but if these mofo's ain't paying the same taxes as us, they need to go somewhere. Be it Business or Person.

If that's the case just cut it off and give me what I paid into it back. Eventually it'll cause a whole new group of issues from the people who have been leeching the system but not adding to the fund
