Relax everything is going fine - seniors are receiving SS - pensions etc . Concern should be given to the working population and there future survival. Which is what the powers to be are doing while some us stay luck up and complain.
So what happens to SS when people aren’t working and we lose the contributions normally made? We will run out way sooner than projected. What happens to our funded pensions when companies can’t sell their products and funding falls shorter and shorter? A certain percentage of our pensions are guaranteed by the “bank” but what happens when they don’t have the money for us? This recession is going to be worse than anything we’ve ever had. Farmers already are plowing under their fields since no one to sell their crops to with restaurants and schools closed. Immigration halted so Americans can go in the fields and pick tomatoes and beans for minimum wage - like they will even apply for the jobs! Meat and poultry processing plants shutting down across the nation because the working conditions are so poor, the virus knocked them all under. This all HAS to affect our food supply eventually. I thought I would be OK with SS and pension but now I’m not so sure...
