    Take it from me, being retired and doing exactly what you want to when you want to is priceless.  I was a farm kid.  I started working for pay at 11 picking strawberries for 6 cents a quart, and I worked continuously for the next 55 years until I retired 8 years ago.    

     

     

     

    You realize that almost all fortunes, not just in the US currently but all over the world throughout history, were created by someone screwing over other people.  It's just the way it is and has always been.

     

    I mean, yeah. Should we ignore the present because of the past?

    People are free to do with their money as they please.  If anyone puts 50% of their retirement, or anything even close, they deserve to lose it.

     

    Yeah, they totally deserve to get conned by a guy they think is Jesus.

    Just pointing out that someone's gonna inherit that accumulated wealth.

    Sometimes I think the kids of boomers are just annoyed that they are too healthy and living too long. 

     

    I'm talking about billionaires. There are the rich and the poor in this country. If you don't know which you are, it's the latter.

     

    And I'm not attacking you personally. I think your peers got addicted to greed at any cost. JMO, and you are welcome to disagree.

    Well, as one of the tail-end boomers who's sinking a ton of money into the human capital of his kids (college and beyond), I don't think Gen Z has anything to complain about.

     

    Yeah, but you're not one of the 1% boomers playing the game and screwing everyone over.

    Yes. It still amazes me that three decades after we apparently passed the leadership torch to the baby boomer generation, we've somehow reverted back to leadership by the ancient pre-Boomer generation. 

    Will someone step up? Gen X, I'm looking at you.

     

    And do what? The boomers are in a death rattle, but they still want to control the present, control the future, hoard all the cash, pay no taxes, and do no good. They're finishing the game they started in the 80's: he who dies with the highest net worth wins. They really let this country down in the end, IMO.

     

    Look who our presidential candidates are for fvck's sake.

  6. Manipulative pump and dump. If his fanatics can't see the easy grifts, they have no chance with this one.

     

    1. Trump gets his stock

     

    2. MAGA buys in and holds, sending the price high

     

    3. Trump sells at the top, tanking the price

     

    4. Ma and Pa MAGA lose 50% of their retirement and Pa goes back to work at the gas station

     

    5. Trump once again profits off his useful deplorables and stays out of jail a while longer

  7. Why should anyone care after "Fvck your feelings"? I mean, fvck YOUR feelings. Have a nice day. Enjoy playing by the rules you created. You're outnumbered, you have been for some time, and you're not exactly attracting followers. Please enjoy withering away with Jesus and kindly fvck off.

     

    We are witnessing the dead cat bounce of our boomer parents and I'm here for it.
