@skumWgmi 62k after 12 years assuming ZERO return is $5,166/year.
Assuming the company is putting in half, that person is only putting $215 away (pretax mind you) per month towards retirement.
I call bullshit
Growing up is understanding that in Titanic, Rose decides to throw away a $250 million pendant in memory of an unemployed man who she had sex with one time.
Meanwhile, her husband worked hard all his life to maintain her and give her and her children a life of luxury, who would surely have also appreciated the inheritance and lived peacefully.
She could of also given the pendant to her Granddaughter who took care of her, her whole life.
The real villain of the movie gentlemen, no doubt it was Rose.
Employee: "I was hired as fully remote 3 years ago and moved my family closer to affordable housing."
HR: "We're updating our policy. You need to report to an office 3 hours away, 4 days a week, starting next month."
Employee: "That's impossible for my commute. Is there severance if I can't relocate?"
HR: "No. Failure to report will be classified as voluntary resignation."
Two weeks later, the CEO announced a "15% reduction in force with zero severance payouts" on an earnings call to boost quarterly margins.
Mandatory return-to-office mandates were never about corporate culture……they were a back-door layoff strategy designed to strip working families of unemployment benefits.
In 2001 George W Bush proposed a partial privatization plan for Social Security so you could put 10% of your SS contribution into the markets.
People rejected this.
We can now see that if it had passed, the 10% that went into the markets would have outperformed the 90% the government managed, the program would be solvent, and the average SS recipient would be receiving 2X what they currently receive.
The worst bet you’ll ever make is betting on government.
Top ways MAGA dropped the ball since 2024:
-DOGE was popular
-Ending the wars was popular
-COVID accountability was popular
-Epstein accountability was popular
-Ending the Department of Education was popular
-Ending the IRS was popular
-Decreasing the debt was popular
A hill I will die on: lots of people suffer from mental health issues bc no one forced them to struggle enough growing up. Struggle builds resilience and is great for you. Life can’t be too easy or every mole hill becomes a mountain.
The entire Senate (Repubs and Dems) are out of touch with their own voters.
In today's environment - 6 yr terms are way too long!
They spend 5 yrs enriching themselves (donors, lobbyists, insider info for profitable stock picks, etc.) and then run back to their voters 6 months before elections and pretend they care.
You can’t deliberately build economy in which an entire generation of Americans can’t afford to own anything and then act surprised when people with no capital have no stake in capitalism.
Open borders, forever wars, welfare, and Fed money printers are how you get socialism.
So you need a valid ID to shop at Mandami’s government grocery stores to make sure the system isnt taken advantage of
But the same people who love this idea will also scream racism if you say you need a valid ID to vote so the system doesnt get taken advantage of.
Hypocrites man…Either you should be for no ID for both or ID for both. But if you are split than you are prob a fraud
