though tbh whatever SS can do for me wont really matter since my current retirement plan that is private will pay me several times it

ah so ur one of the smart guys 😛

they privatize over a long time i think don't they? i think they proposed that in NZ, and the proposal was that people who are aged over 40 will not be affected

this is why, the sooner you do it, the lower the blow

@tritrium not really. I mean social security isn't exactly a high pay system as it is

I worked with a guy when I was 22 who was near retirement and he said, "Social Security isn't going to pay me enough to continue living here. So I'm going to supplement it with a part time job"

well thats true pensions arent very high here either

at that point i realized that "if this guy is boned, I'm definitely going to be boned"

so i made some choices

the more rightwing parties here keep bitching about unemployment payouts

and how they need to cut on those

but when u look at the numbers, it barely even shows up in the total budget figures

Welfare needs to go anyway, charity should be a private affair

cutting unemployment is not necessary

he talks about the other EU countries being stupid for trying to mimic sweden

basically they are taxing their populace and businesses to death

and regulating them to death

What is necessary is the formation of public support to tackle longer term issues

what do you mean @Blackhawk342

I mean that parties need to stop focusing on minutia and start having debates about the long term

i wonder how simple the swedish tax system is?

For the left, stop harping on LGBTQQIIAA2SP+ issues

For the right stop nagging people about abortions and unemployment

LGBTQIAAACO-OP

Political Parties in a Democracy will never talk long term because that's not how the incentives are set up

if you're ubisoft

@Timcast can you release videos at 5pm instead of 6pm ? 6pm is midnight here and I often have to postpone watching your videos in order to not be sleep deprived at work 😉 I will understand if you can't.

ah ur talking about the stupid navel gazing

They're only elected and running for the next 5 years and the public doesn't care about the long term

they want shit NOW

Thats because the public doesnt care yes

@Blackhawk342 I will not stop nagging people about abortions when they ask me if I support them

if they don't ask, I wont talk typically

Which is why its necessary to rally public support for those issues

@oprahsminge if its anything close to the belgian one, its ridicilously confusing but dont take the belgian stuff as a standard, everything is confusing here

When I say nagging i dont mean debate or discussions

I mean stop having campaigns about it, stop letting it take up air time

Abort Leftist Babies

that's not going to happen

though I don't control it

obviously
