    Both of my shitty chud parents are on social security now and they desperately need it and a very evil snide part of me would love for them to be cut off since that's what they want for everyone else when it doesn't effect them.

    SI will almost certainly be gone by the time I'm their age anyways so I'd almost rather they inflict misery on the boomers now

      I dont know a single person under 40 that is expecting SI or anything remotely helpful in the future.

        I'm expecting it, because its endured 80 years of this conservative deficit hawkery and anti-government hysteria.

        But I also don't think the $12k/year stipend is going to buying much when import/export markets collapse in a post-globalist world.

          in 2050, Social Security will be administered in monthly $ 50 Amazon gift cards.

            In fairness, 60% of the economy will just be people handing packages back and forth between each other to make Big Number Go Up.

        At this point my retirement plan is the inevitability of fascists lining me up against a wall.
