The evisceration of the pension system in the united states has created a class of those nearing retirement who will live in poverty. https://www.ncoa.org/article/addressing-the-nations-retireme...

The result of “fiscal restraint” amounts to acceptance of premature death for millions. Likely acceptable to a country that has accepted excess COVID deaths and support for genocides in West Asia, East & Central Africa, and South America. I only hope that boomers turn to anarchist resistance and disruption.
