      Nah fuck that you prove to me humanity can do an economy properly than we have a conversation. At this point we will all die before we ever have a proper economy. The greed of the few out weigh the needs of the many.

        A proper economy is one where the people who need things more pay more than the people who need them less. That’s how we know what things should cost.

      55/60 for women/men but the pension wasn’t exactly high. Life expectancy 65 for men, 74 for women. Population was still growing too. Retirement as a concept requires enough young people to serve the needs of the old.

          Oh, dearie me, a pure seeker of knowledge. Sorry, it’s just that no one had mentioned the Soviet Union. And people usually bring up things that read like non-sequiturs when they want to establish a connection.

          And I didn’t downvote. Yet. I usually wait to downvote until a commenter leaves little doubt that they’re a dickhead.

            Sure, I’ll definitely take this unverifiable protestation of innocence entirely seriously

              Watch those downvote numbers. Because they’re all about to increase by at least one now.
