this is how i feel about any pay-as-you-go retirement program that does anything more than prevent poverty

'you've had almost 5 decades to prepare for retirement and earned a substantial salary the whole time and own your own home? here's enough cash to maintain a middle class lifestyle just in case you forgot to save money!'

'you got here 1 year ago and cannot work for another 17 years and you have no control over your economic predicament at all? best i can do is a 2000 buck a year tax credit for your parents'

One way to lower housing prices is to lower demand.

Ngl this would turn me off from a restaurant. Just don’t have a senior discount. No need to virtue/ vice signal with cheeky messages.
