    I’m so sick of this complacency with the idea of paying into social security your whole life to fund the boomer retirees just to have it taken from us as one final fuck you. The vocalized consensus among everyone needs to be its not getting taken from us, if anything it will be fixed and made more robust and any politician that acts to remove it from us will have their heads removed from their bodies.

      Boomers believe social security would be gone by the time they retire. It’s been a common conspiracy thing for decades.

      It’s literally a Ponzi scheme that the government just declared it to not be one. It must either explode or have ever growing generations funding it.
