Need to reimagine our social safety net. Consider a system where, instead of funding Social Security through lifelong payroll taxes and government-managed payouts, the federal government invests a one-time $20,000 per newborn into an index fund at birth. By retirement at age 67, this investment, compounding at a 7% annual return, would grow to $1.86 million, providing an annual withdrawal of $74,440—far exceeding the current average Social Security benefit of $21,457 per year. This shift would empower individuals with significantly greater financial security, free from dependency on a government-managed system. Meanwhile, the federal government would save trillions, as the upfront cost per birth cohort ($72 billion) is over nine times lower than the long-term Social Security liability for the same group ($772 billion). By eliminating the need for intergenerational wealth transfers and reducing taxpayer burdens, this model presents a path to greater financial independence for citizens and massive fiscal savings for the government. Note that they $20k is an arbitrary number. It simply serves as a demonstration of how market forces would better take care of the retirement needs of our citizenry.

my favorite new york social code is when a lone person needs to get a stroller up the subway stairs.

nearly instantly, a stranger picks up the other end of the stroller,
helps carry it up, then departs as quickly as they appeared.
no words are exchanged. eye contact is minimal.
