Sure, it’s all about choices. You’ve made your own. Hopefully you’re able to enjoy your retirement. But if those choices don’t work out, hopefully you’re not bitter and blaming others.

You are placing a lot of unwarranted faith in remaining healthy into retirement and your savings being enough for whatever situation we face them.
My dad decided to save up and wait until retirement to do some travel he wanted to do. A couple years later he has a major health issue and is unable to travel like he wanted to.
I don’t begrudge anyone enjoying themselves with the time they have while they are young and healthy.
Sorry about your partner’s health. I know it’s unlikely, but hopefully things can get a bit better for y’all.
That is an incredibly callous response to the situation they described. Their partner didn’t decide to be a financial drain. It could happen to you too. All it takes is one bad day and you’re in severe medical debt.
That is hilarious. “I got an MBA from Harvard but totally believe I can get a 500-1000% return on my investment”
What is a pension? /s
But also, no. No one should be forced to endure this world just to keep pensions going.
This sure seems like a step towards a personhood bill. Which is exactly what Republicans want
I wish there was a way to harness their hate and direct it against their god-king, Trump. Get them to destroy their entire movement and fracture into a million, feckless pieces.
I wouldn’t be so sure about humanity surviving. It all depends on how many tipping points we hit and how bad warming actually gets. There’s no way we stop at 3°. Existence for any humans will be incredibly fraught.
Oh, you mean the people who quoted Hitler? - https://apnews.com/article/moms-for-liberty-adolf-hitler-newsletter-quote-bcce698e901b9e782970030ccd710512
Yeah, they’re real model citizens.
It gets even better when you realize the US hasn’t actually formally declared war since WWII. We don’t do “war” anymore. But we still kill a helluva lot of people. Mostly civilians.
Since they moved the kids across state lines at one point, doesn’t that mean the FBI could get involved? Sounds like trafficking to me
Sure, but DeSantis won a statewide election, unaffected by gerrymandering. So even though FL’s congress has more extreme people because of that, they’re not the only ones who enacted this law. They didn’t have to elect a fascist as a state, but they did.
Saying that, I do feel bad for the Floridians who didn’t vote for him and get fucked over because of this. But anyone who voted for DeSantis deserves whatever they get from his cruel actions.
This is why there is so much focus now on stripping rights from trans and other LGBTQ+ people. They needed some other rallying cry around “saving the children.” And it also helps create a group of others for their fascistic instincts.
They are also often in favor of the death penalty for certain crimes. These people are not internally consistent at all. And honestly, with the amount of issues in the Bible, you have to be very comfortable with a lack of consistency to be that religious anyway. Not that most of them are actually really reading the Bible. Seems like most just ingest whatever their preacher decides to tell them.
Yup, nothing against monogamous people
It doesn’t have to be. Non-monogamy is a thing…
But the fun thing is that all solar currently has a carbon cost associated with it. So as we’re trying to work our way out of this we’re also continuing to increase the carbon load. It’s a vicious cycle.
