Social security was never meant to provide you all the money you needed to live on when you stopped working. You had the responsibility when you were younger to save for retirement and if you didn’t you only have yourself to blame.
People are lazy today and they want big government to provide them with what they need to survive. Our young people are not very bright these days and you can blame our teaching system. When schools think dumbing down curriculum and tests so everybody passes, how is that going to help get qualified surgeons/medical staffers into the field or having delinquents engineer our new planes?
There are states still paying people to stay home.
Why do people think that employers have to take care of you if you work for them a number of years?
Why do people complain about what CEO’s/company founders make or what management makes? All of this boils down to my statement above: people are lazy!
Decades ago, when I was 22, I decided that if I have to work, I was going to make the most money I could and I would do what it took to do it. So that required me to learn other technologies/skills after work hours so I could branch out to get to the next level. So I constantly took higher paying jobs with more demands and more stress up until I retired early comfortably. Went into management for a while but hated it plus I could get paid more for being a technologist.
So when I see people create companies that flourish and become billionaires, I congratulate them for doing the hard work required to get there. Others hate them, and imo, these are the lazy people that would rather complain than do something about their own livelihood to get to the level they want to be. Only you can control what you do and what you make in life. Government only gets in the way of progress.
