What gets me riled up is I work w/ a bunch of GenX and some don't even contribute to the 401k that is matched 6% (aka FREE MONEY). I just don't get it, my leave money on the table. Go low risk if your not sure...

Well lets start by cutting of funding to Ukraine, Israel, and every other country. Close all the foreign military bases and we could realistically take care of all these people in need. Won't happen but its a nice thought...

Let the world take care of itself, I'm sick and tired of us (The USA) being the "World Police"

And fuck the bailouts, that pisses me off more than anything. Let them fail.

And in those cases I can find exception. (not for CC or educational debt, you bought the ticket. Take the ride)

But if you willfully squandered your money and/or didnt sign up for the basic 401k at work then I have no pity. I'm an engineer, I found out the other day my coworker the same age as me has just signed up for a 401k. He left 6% on the table for more than 2 decades, fuck bailing that guy out.

I'm all for a decent quality of living, just not on my back because you didnt do anything to deserve it.

This isnt just boomers, it's into Gen X too.

Boomers: 1946 to 1964: 59 - 77

Gen X: 1966 and 1980: 43 - 57

"Only 1 in 10 low-income workers between the ages of 51 and 64 had any funds put away for retirement "

I'm a Republican and this has nothing to do w/ parties. Some people are the grasshopper and some people are the ant. I'm an ant, I can retire right now at 50yo and it wouldnt be a an issue.

So they want to fritter their money away well thats their problem. I have been saving to retire since I was 19. And a diversified portfolio, gold, silver, guns, land, 401k, Roth, hard currency and a skill set that I can work into the 80's if I chose to...

Bad choices shouldn't be saddled on me.

Well if it was 6 fingers I know a guy looking for that guy. His name is Inigo Montoya. He killed his father, he should prepare to die.

old.lemmy.world is a God send, haven't been back to reddit since!

I have a friend that has tourrette's we have drag him kicking and screaming to go out. Its a horrible affliction, and he has one of the mildest forms. Just random head ticks no outbursts. Also he won't drink as the ticks become more frequent and extreme.

But we'll be damned that he stays hold in his house. After we get him out he enjoys himself once his nerves calm down and he realizes nobody is staring when he ticks.

200$ tax stamp you have to wait almost a year to get. Finger prints (done by the police) and 2 passport photos for them to put on file. And a clean record, no felonies, DV, violent crime, etc.

Its not to bad of a process, I've been thru it about 7-8 times for my suppressors/sbr/etc

Who's God? First of you can't identify God. God is everything, under a rock I find God. We are dealing with something bigger than us.

DNC has shit candidates, its gonna end badly.

Thats what I can't understand, I have crossed the line and have voted blue. But they seem to be incapable of voting for the best interests. Its a cult I agree.

I love blasting, I have a legal machine gun (in the US). Lighting something up (not living) is a blast. Until you get back blast and that shit sucks. Also hot brass down the back of your shirt is hell. Happens more when you have FA.

/Love the handle, they banned my 6 accts and all my subs. F reddit we need Aaron back.

Harris would never make it, that idiot giggle turns off everyone. Also is she Black or Indian? Seems to change with the breeze, and dumb as a box of hammers.

RFK is the only hope for the DNC.

And I don't think he would make it, I'm guessing Republicans will win. "Bidennomics" is enough to sink the DNC's chances.

That tent sleeps 3 comfortably... Smells of low tide unfortunately.

I really hope this becomes a thing... So where do I get a set of full plate armor?

Plagiarizer, calling the inter city a "jungle" he doesnt want his kids in. How thid guy got elected after how many failed attempts tell me the US has gotten really dumb. Most voted for, my ass.

Nearly dead last in law school, this guy is a train wreck

BEANS!

How many houses does he own? Champion of the people he is not. He's just as corrupt and thats why he steps aside when he gets passed over. He is a wimp. If that guy had a set he would have run in 2016 as an independent, but nope he towed the DNC line. BS is BS

I can see that being an issue, it shatters the PCB and the fiberglass/plastic isn't something I would want to breath in of contaminate the area

When did I say vaccines cause autism? He hasn't got a nickle from me I just agree with his stance on many topics? He is far more center than any other candidate from the left or the right.

But I'll get on that library membership ASAP, thankfully its not two blocks from me.
