But seniors should establish their own retirement plans beyond Social Security to ensure sufficient living funds, Cirksena said. “For retirees, the key takeaway is this: Social Security will change, but if you have a strong retirement plan that doesn’t rely on it entirely, you won’t be left scrambling.”
Yeah, the people who are no longer working and who probably can’t find a job even if they wanted to should just establish their own retirement fund now. Presumably with all that money they pull from the magical money tree.
Should people be establishing their own retirement plan before that point? Definitely. But what about the people who work hard for shitty employers who stiff them because they couldn’t find a better job elsewhere? I guess just fuck them, or something. /s

But did you pretty much say “just fuck them,” to a different group of people when you said, “Yeah, the people who are no longer working and who probably can’t find a job even if they wanted to should just establish their own retirement fund now. Presumably with all that money they pull from the magical money tree.”
Sounds like you are all for certain groups of people getting fucked over, but not others.
How about NO ONE get fucked over. That’d be better.
Good grief, I was not making fun of them. I feel like there’s either some trolling or some sort of a reading comprehension deficit going on here. And judging by the comment scores, I’m not alone in that suspicion.
And tho you may really like to watch upvotes/downvotes, I don’t care about them. So you were being “sarcastic” when talking about the people who are on social security, yet in the same comment you weren’t being sarcastic when talking about current workers.
In case you’re not trolling, I would like to point something out to you:
The up-/downvote ratio here probably reflects the fact that onlookers don’t believe you are arguing in good faith. It should act as a wake-up call to you, an indicator that you should re-consider what the other person is saying and ask yourself “Am I misunderstanding their point? Could this be interpreted differently?”.
You may find that you are disagreeing with them over something they never said or intended to say.
Ok, I’ll put it clearly: You’re wrongly interpreting the person you’re arguing with as saying something you disagree with. They never meant what you’re claiming they meant, and they’ve said as much.
When you keep trying to nail them to the wall, it comes off as being disingenuous, and just looking for a fight, even though you don’t really disagree with the OP on anything related to what they’ve posted in this thread.
You’re being downvoted because everyone else can see this, and think you’re trolling because you don’t seem to see it, even though it’s obvious to everyone else. In fact, it’s so obvious that people probably think it’s more likely that you’re trolling than that you genuinely don’t understand that you have no disagreement with the OP here.

Edit: Added a /s

I was being sarcastic. I didn’t think the /s was necessary. But apparently I was wrong.
So were you or were you not making fun of people on social security? Who, by the way, aren’t all old. Clarify.

Ok, then clarify.
And tho you may really like to watch upvotes/downvotes, I don’t care about them. So you were being “sarcastic” when talking about the people who are on social security, yet in the same comment you weren’t being sarcastic when talking about current workers.
Is that what you are trying to get me to believe?
Totally not UniversalMonk /s

That doesn’t concern me. Just because Lemmy doesn’t believe something I say, doesn’t make it false.
Why don’t you tell me what I have said that seems to be not in good faith that I should wake up to.
