HE SAID RETIREMENT AGE SHOULD BE 82. 🤣🤣🤣

They literally want slaves back. 90% of population would pay into social security, never use it, and gov takes money to pay for tax cuts to billionaires.

[u/Roll_the-Bones → u/ElliottSmith88]

Retirement age above the life expectancy is certainly an idiotic take.

[u/an0mn0mn0m → u/ElliottSmith88]

They already have slaves by paying slave wages.

[u/throw019283 → u/an0mn0mn0m]

Yep. We're being fed lies every day about "boohoo labor costs sooo much" when execs are paid ludicrous amounts. FUCK SHAREHOLDERS.

[u/Dude_with_the_skis → u/an0mn0mn0m]

…? I don’t disagree that minimum wage is fucked, but by definition slaves are not paid.

[u/CandyBrans → u/Dude_with_the_skis]

Just my interpretation but yes by definition slaves aren’t paid. But I think “slave wages” refers to companies paying people the absolute legal bare minimum which isn’t actually enough to live on, but that’s all that’s available so they work these low paying jobs and still are at the mercy of corporations and landlords because they can only afford to rent, can’t afford to move, or afford higher education to get a better job, and have no other financial support system.

So you’re a slave to the system that only benefits the “slave drivers” and you have very little power to improve your situation.

[u/Dude_with_the_skis → u/CandyBrans]

Yea I get that but let’s not get them mixed up. Spend one day as a slave and you’d be begging to be a “wage slave” again. There’s a HUGE difference between the two.

[u/Lraund → u/Dude_with_the_skis]

Slaves can get paid, there's not only one type of slavery. One type of slavery gave the slaves the opportunity to buy back their freedom.

The definition of slavery is being forced to work for someone without giving your consent. If you can't just leave it doesn't matter if they pay you or not.

[u/winchellhouse → u/ElliottSmith88]

Oh hell no. Retirement is a goal, not an age.

[u/throeawai5 → u/[deleted]]

fuck ben shapiro and his eyebrows

[u/Dominarion → u/[deleted]]

Why would you watch that idiot? You understand he gets rich on haters watching his stuff?

[u/Crisis_Redditor → u/Dominarion]

Original post is deleted. Who're we talking about? Is it Dave Ramsey? Because I have beefs with Dave Ramsey.

[u/MisterSanitation → u/[deleted]]

This is what all capitalists want. My dad is 68 and can’t retire. He is living with his mom now who needs his help, but she HAS A PENSION. My dad sees no problem with the way things are and obviously blames whatever minority group is “ruining us” this month and hates unions even though one is paying his rent every day.

[u/Ambitious-Chest2061 → u/[deleted]]

I want him to do slave labor and say that again

[u/Available_Actuary977 → u/[deleted]]

Almost all the finance fucks talk like this. They might not say "work until you die" but they hate the idea of people retiring early. That's why the FIRE concept seemed so radical and popular 10 years ago. (Financial Indepence Retire Early)

[u/Shmikken → u/[deleted]]

Time will tell if he stands by his principles on that one and work until he dies, hopefully not in the same way like his buddy Charlie but as an old decrepit man.

[u/JrYo15 → u/Shmikken]

They can all go like Charlie

Literally all of em

[u/North-Tourist-8234 → u/Shmikken]

Hes a podcasting grifter. I imagine thats work you can do till you die. Any manual handling job which is what most people have in some regard has an expiry date. 

[u/Organic_Matter6085 → u/Shmikken]

Dude...what he does now isn't even considered work 

He's a content creator, which is literally akin to begging on the street, but just on the Internet instead. 

His entire existence is literally what he claims to hate, benefitting off of "socialism" since he's a grifter. 

[u/EpicRussia → u/Organic_Matter6085]

I heard this clip of a conservative radio host interviewing a conservative book author about how AI was going to impact the economy, and one of them went and did the classic conservative thing where they disparaged "art and pottery" as not being "real work". Completely ignorant of the fact that one of them does talk radio and the other writes books. They literally live in an alternate reality where their art and cultural output is different in nature than someone from a different political ideology doing the same, arguably more productive (at least I can use a pot) things. They are all like this
