Think about this:

We are now being told that we shouldn’t plan on retiring until 70.

This is because there is “a chance” we may live to 90 or older.

Translation:

“We, your masters, want you to keep producing yield for us until you die.”

Why the fuck do we collectively trade useful life expectancy for possible, but guaranteed to be shittier, future life??

Even if we all stopped working at 45, that would still likely only give 20 years of likely useful life expectancy (life where your body can still do most of the things it needs to). I want to go on 20 mile hikes through naturally beauty places with a 20, 30, or 40 year old body. Not rely on my crippled muscles, bones, and cartilages that are left after producing yield for my overlords my whole life.

Fuck this reality where we not only have to trade our lives for scraps, but we are expected to save for the future in a currency that those same masters who exploit us can debase at will with a few key strokes.

If you don’t yet realize the gravity of this situation, wake up. We are at war and have been so ever since the infinite money printer came online. It is literally life or death.

I don’t mind working for living wages as long as I can save for my future self in something that actually rewards a low time preference.

#bitcoin can free us all and it’s such a simple choice.

Very interesting viewpoint. It’s like they must milk every ounce of labor from us. Then, when we are too old to work, we finally get a tax break on our assets. But only until it gets passed down to the next generation who will resume paying taxes on it.
