Why do you actually believe that?

What the heck are you even talking about?

JFC you have a lot of potential for fucking up people’s lives
People fuck up their own lives, Sally. Do you honestly think Joe Blow in the trailer park would take that money and invest it wisely? Or would they use it to pay down their credit card debt, repair their car, and take their kids to the dentist more often.

You are not realistic…at all.
Your education system that you trumpet doesn’t help these people at all

Joe blow living in the trailer park follows your model

Clueless about investing
Reckless spending which you support
Depending on the government to get him through the day, which you love

But some people are actually happy in trailer ya know

You’re not gonna be able to fix everybody despite AOCs dreams

Again…unrealistic. What happens when people reach retirement age without enough savings or investments to see them through to the finish line?
If do to their own recklessness, greed, or stupidity, tough shit. They could keep working.
Ah yes. Work until you die. A sign of a successful country.

What happens to the society they live in? You think this somehow wouldn’t affect you?

How about the morality of it? Let the old fools suffer I suppose.

Many people retire and die quickly

Bullshit. To try and fail is noble. To not even try to lend a helping hand whether as individuals or a society is amoral by this country’s own definitions.

Very true. However 13% of SS recipients are eligible through disability. Those who can continue to work past retirement age are admirable and fortunate. But many lose the ability to work due to aging and health related issues. And many spend long hours caring for grandchildren and spouses to save the family money on childcare.

Not to mention the aging out of jobs happens in the 50’s. There are very highly experienced and educated people in their late 50’s who are let go for younger, cheaper replacements and/or can’t find employment due to age.

Largest children’s hospital in US to open ‘detransition clinic’ after $10M settlement with Trump DOJ, state
Settlement also mandates hospital fire five doctors and provide free detransition care for five years

Texas Children's Hospital (TCH) in Houston agreed to stop administering puberty blockers to children, pay $10 million in penalties and open a "detransition clinic" after a sweeping probe from the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) and the state of Texas.

The resolution brings to a close a years-long investigation by Texas' Healthcare Program Enforcement Division, which concluded that TCH fraudulently billed Texas Medicaid for "unallowable and illegal ‘gender-transition’ interventions," Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton wrote in a Friday statement.

"Under the terms of this landmark agreement, Texas Children’s will establish the first-ever multidisciplinary clinic designed to provide medical care to patients who were subjected to 'gender-transition' procedures," Paxton wrote.

"This Detransition Clinic will help patients reverse the damage caused by ideologically-motivated physicians who harmed patients by performing dangerous medical interventions for the purpose of "transitioning" them," Paxton's statement continued.

All services provided through the detransition clinic will be funded by Texas Children’s and be free of charge to patients for the first five years of the clinic, according to Paxton.

He also revealed that the settlement mandated TCH to fire five "woke" doctors who performed gender transition surgeries on children.

"Today is a monumental day in the fight to stop the radical transgender movement. This historic settlement reflects an institutional and fundamental cultural shift away from radical ‘gender’ ideology. In addition to helping establish the first-ever Detransition Clinic and securing millions, this settlement will ensure that the deranged child mutilators who hurt our kids are fired and held accountable," Paxton added in his statement…..
