I hate to break it to you YuckyTom but no matter how you slice it a declining birth rate means a shittier situation for you in your retirement. Most people who think about anything other than retweets and boobs care about this.
I can assure you that pour endless growth model will make things really shitty by the time I retire. In fact, it's possible our endless growth model has already made my retirement irreperably shitty.
Unless you've already retired, you likely never will.
Sorry?
I acknowledge that things are perhaps more difficult than they ever have been, but "no one gets to retire" is unnecessarily gloomy.
"Fluffy, fetch ball!"
retirement
lol. lmao even
Ok, imagine I said twilight years.
You may not "retire" but inevitably there will be a period before you die where you are less productive and generally less able than you previously were.
When you reach this period, the more people there are being productive and paying taxes the better your circumstances will be.
lol twilight years. Us millennials are all dying before 60.
The more people there are being productive, the better off the billionaires will be. You are going to be fucked regardless.
Sure but aren't you interested to know that you're going to be more fucked than previously forecast?
Don't you want to be less fucked?
You mean suicide? That's what I'm reading from these comments, that these people plan to off themselves.
