      You have to basically reinsert the meager winnings of your “value” after it was extracted from you, back into the infinite money machine where there is new money but not really much else. It will be used to fund a moderately successful water cartel, Tech-Bubbles-R-Us, Misery Devices and Ammunitions, and the national entities maintaining Da Rules-based economy (subject to modification). You will not be made aware of this as you invest into a NASCAR soundalike that goes up because yes and goes down because fuck you. Only then are you able to retire on the knife’s edge of medical poverty.

        And you could get hit by a car long before that.

          That lines up, it’s when the poorly-run businesses all went bankrupt and the pro business judges let them wipe them away during bankruptcy proceedings.

          Sadly, I really believe that a lot of Boomers grew up thinking that this was in their future and didn’t recognize what was happening when they went away nor adjust to creating their own retirement in response. Younger Gen X and onward certainly saw what was happening, whether they have the ability to do anything about it or not.
