I appreciate the measured response as well. I'd zap you back but coinos is down. I guess my main question on that would be should people be punished for not having kids? Some people provide a lot of value in their early adult years, others don't. If no one retires, what's my incentive to not do only the bare minimum for my community, even when I'm at peak physical and cognitive health?

I do agree though that in recent generations "early retirement" has mostly been due to bad monetary policy bleeding wealth from the working class, and indeed the future. I just think if money worked as it should, it would be an accurate measure of your contribution and therefore a means to buy back your time.

I will say it's nice to have a civil disagreement online. Hope you have a nice week! (I assume based on our conversation we will both be working and trying to create some value 😄)
