... retirement?
I thought we were just gonna lose our jobs and be societally murdered instead.
Some of us in the mid career point actually have. Nothing like back to back to back societal issues fucking your entire life
Yeah, I got laid off when I was 52 and became a school bus driver (I now make about 1/6 of what I made as a mobile apps programmer). I'm not exactly "retired" but that is what I tell people.
