    Traditionally, Americans could look forward to a comfortable retirement. After four decades in an office or a factory, sometime in their 60s they would lay down their burdens and enjoy a final couple of decades with time to relax, spend time with family and friends, and reflect on their life. But since the financial crisis, older Americans have been increasingly staying in the workplace.

    Some see this as a positive trend, because it adds to the economy. But others rightfully view it with trepidation, because there’s the distinct possibility that many of these elderly people just can’t afford to retire. Whether their nest eggs were wiped out in the housing crash, or they just didn’t save enough, or whether their kids don’t make enough money to support them, the decline of retirement seems like an ominous development.

    What's funny is you didn't retired until 65.

    Their nest eggs were not wiped out by the housing crisis unless they sold. The market has long made all those gains back. The pre-recession high was 14,000 and the market is now almost 29,000.

    Why aren't those government programs under a socialist system?

    That you support socialism proves you're a born loser.

    Anyone that supports Bernie or Liz is a fucking dumbass that should be relegated to history.
    Who the fuck are you kidding, banjofuck?

    You live in a run-down trailer park.
    You have maybe five teeth.
    You have a seventh grade education. Maybe.
    Your mother is also your sister, aunt, and cousin.
    And you've been wearing the same underwear for twelve days.

    If you couldn't convince yourself that minorities, foreigners, homosexuals, educated atheists, and women were well below you on the totem pole of society,
    you'd kill yourself with one of your six rusty guns.

    Fuck you, cretin. Reality is, there's nobody BELOW you.
