You know, something's always mystified me about the primitives, and the way they think, what they expect from life.
What makes them think retirement's supposed to be easy and comfortable?
Yeah, it would be nice if it were, and it'd be even nicer if everybody, and not just a select few, could attain that luxury.
Unfortunately for the primitives, throughout all of recorded human history including clear up to the present day, an easy and comfortable old age seems to have eluded nearly all of the human race, and when it happened, it happened more by luck than by plan.
And the primitives tend to be the people least worthy, least deserving, of an easy and comfortable retirement, no matter how much they scrimped and saved for it. They were the ones who constantly voted to give away other people's money, and now it's their turn to make the sacrifice.
We have this idea that since the old man and the old lady, members of the greatest generation, seemed to have a good retirement, that we can too. But such was not the universal experience; in fact, it was much more the exception than the rule.
This globule primitive, rather than spending all of his working years fantasizing about an easy and comfortable retirement, would've been better served learning and practicing survival skills.
I say this based upon what I saw and heard in the socialist paradises of the workers and peasants during the early and mid-1990s, when I observed hordes, herds, swarms, of weak ill vulnerable ancient people who so tenaciously managed to survive. It wasn't the money they'd put away, or the money the socialists had taken from them and "saved" for their retirement; a fixed pension with 100,000% inflation doesn't go very far, if it goes at all.
