I’d rather be sitting at the kiddie table during Thanksgiving dinner than with the adults - kids just want a few laughs sprinkled in with some light violence, while adults want to sit around and wonder how it’s even possible that a thirty-six year-old man exists who doesn’t own a suit and thinks a 401K is a really, really long race. - WILLIAMSBURG RATS: A MANNY'S TOUR OF DUTY
I’ve long bitched & moaned that I was born at the EXACT worst time possible if I wanted to enjoy sex (AIDS) or drugs (Len Bias) and now it looks like the same may be the case for Social Security.
Of course there should be a lot of eye-rolling, they’ve been “warning” us about SS drying up as long as I can remember, but of course having Donald Trump back at the captains wheel makes it a little more likely. It's just an "of course" moment that it's gonna perfectly coincide with my retirement age. And after getting my shit together enough to maaaaaaaaaaaybe be able to limp into a hopefully-not-too-shitty retirement any dream of a 401(k) being intact is just that, a dream, particularly with Trump’s bff Elon Shithead Musk in Trump's ear 24/7. We’ve demanded ourselves be put under a billionaire ruling class, so brace yourself for plenty of lecturing about the importance of austerity and that if you hadn’t fucked things up for yourself by being poor, you wouldn’t have to worry about your 401(k) being gambled away by billionaires, now would you?
Fucking exhausting.
