@ompastor It’s a government program, not a market account. You don’t get market rates. If you wanted market rates, you should’ve put money into a 401K. Wait, put money into SS AND a 401K? Yes. That’s what my generation has to do to have any retirement while paying for yours.
@Catholicizm1@philfortx You make them their family’s problem like every generation before them. Families have a duty to their older and younger generations, and they’re absolving themselves of that responsibility through a shitty unsustainable government program.
Stealing from young families to pay much higher net worth Boomers is immoral and ridiculous. Young families already have to deal with an economy where everything is exponentially more expensive than it was for Boomers at the same age. Older people clamoring to raise taxes on the young, on top of it all, is just perverse.
@MattWalshBlog Meanwhile I’m in my early 30’s planning on spending my sunset years subsisting in a country gutted by the boomers with none of the programs I’m currently paying into being in existence. I’m paying for two retirements, self-funding my own while still paying the social security tax
@AdaLluch Yeah I live in Michigan. The fun part is she’s the current Secretary of State, which means she runs the state’s elections, and she’s already trying to stack the deck in her favor through election rules.
MI Senate Dems on the Appropriations Committee held up funding for Selfridge to try and weasel in $350 million in extra spending for who knows what. The House GOP managed to bully them into a clean deal… but please remember this in November, Michigan.
The former Flint Mayor brought voter fraud concerns directly to Jocelyn Benson and was told she was “pushing a Republican agenda.” …a democrat who led Flint through some of its darkest years.
For generations Michigan hunters have had combo tags. One antlered and one that could be antlerless or antlered. Now the DNR only wants you to shoot one buck and the other animal you shoot has gotta be a doe. This will supposedly result in more does being bagged.
It won’t work:
@elonmusk Well that took Tesla out of the running for me. I refuse to subscribe to a feature built into the vehicle I own. This is BMW with their heated seats all over again.
@nocontextmemes@elonmusk all I want for Christmas is this fixed. Just give me a button or a warning or something. I’ve lost so many banger memes to the refresh. Please 🥺
