@mdfranz@infosec.exchange Honestly? I think if you paid in to social security (because that's how our system works), you should get you social security. Social Security isn't free. It was paid for. I'm paying in right now.Don't think I'll get it when I'm old, but I'm paying in.
Plus, I see how much old people are charged for a living space. There's no "Money (retirees) don't need".
But if I'm looking for something particularly damming: those 401Ks and Pensions are based on stock values. We need, desperately, for our elder care to not be based on the stock market. That is NOT a safe and secure system for retirement, and we deserve better.

@Epic_Null@infosec.exchange Agree to disagree and this I'm basing this on folks I know and care about who I know don't need the money. Not some bullshit socialism. Folks that are VERY well off. We need to preserve the system for folks that really need it like you describe. Not those that don't just because they "paid into it."
