One of my aunts is 73 years old and she's still working. She'd love to retire, but she says she can't afford to do it.

That's terribly sad to be that old and forced to work.

Games are what they have when they aren't making up their own news.

I plan to keep working into my 80's if I'm healthy enough. Not full time or out of necessity but to keep myself active and busy. I like my job and am fortunate to have a decent pension and insurance and could retire before 70 if I wanted to. I have one coworker in their 80's now in fact.

That's different from what these people are suggesting though. No one should have to continue working just to make ends meet. Realistically people should be able to retire and live off their retirement by 60 at the oldest.

 

[squeekness]

Yeah, if you like your job and you stay in it for fulfillment, that's a whole other thing than being forced into it.

Not shocking, coming from the Trump News Network. :furious:

Are they not allowed to say "The Trump Administration"?

Excellent. Hopefully Smartmatic will cause OAN to lose so much money that the network goes out of business.

[MagnarTheGreat]

Surely they’ll pay attention to every rich person with a private jet now and not just those they’ve declared enemies of the MAGA cult now.

Nah, they won’t.

Whatever it takes for the truth to get out.

I couldn't care less about Taylor Swift.

 

[blueharvest]

That's good advice for everybody, really.

 

[blueharvest]

They're not lies, though. It's 100% what the Republican Party is all about.
