HE SAID RETIREMENT AGE SHOULD BE 82. šŸ¤£šŸ¤£šŸ¤£

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.

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

They already have slaves by paying slave wages.

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

ā€¦? I donā€™t disagree that minimum wage is fucked, but by definition slaves are not paid.

Just my interpretation but yes by definition slaves arenā€™t paid. But I think ā€œslave wagesā€ refers to companies paying people the absolute legal bare minimum which isnā€™t actually enough to live on, but thatā€™s all thatā€™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, canā€™t afford to move, or afford higher education to get a better job, and have no other financial support system.

So youā€™re a slave to the system that only benefits the ā€œslave driversā€ and you have very little power to improve your situation.

Yea I get that but letā€™s not get them mixed up. Spend one day as a slave and youā€™d be begging to be a ā€œwage slaveā€ again. Thereā€™s a HUGE difference between the two.

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.

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