Social security is going bankrupt. Many retirees in FL. If we allow 5-10 year olds to exist, then 60 years from now they are just going to make my share of SS smaller.
main joke explained: Young working people already pay more in SS taxes than they can expect to receive back in retirement. They support older workers in the pyramid scheme, and many who might view the squid game economics have less than 60 years additional life expectancy. Thanks for coming to my podcast.
A fat lot of good that money will do, when there are no young hands able to wipe the bottoms of the elderly after an accident.
Japanese AI enabled robots! Who needs young people.
Problem could be resolved if, I don't know, tax the rich.
