I keep seeing responses to this. Is this a troll post? How can you be 52 years old and have NOTHING saved for retirement? I’m 34 and I have retirement accounts lol. I’m not criticizing people for not being wizards with money or not scrimping and saving every extra dollar to own a house or to retire. I’m not a brilliant investor myself, and I buy particular brands of food I like, rent nice places to live, and have a nice car… I’m not one of those people who preaches that you should live off ramen noodles and sleep in a hovel as a rite of passage… but I’m also not going to be 52 with nothing lol. That’s just mind-boggling. Like a lot of people have pointed out, if you just put $100 a month in the stock market for 30 years you could easily have a couple hundred thousand saved.

Also, it’s on you if you’ve been working a low-wage job for 37 years and haven’t done anything to work your way up in your company, get more credentials, go to college or technical school, take on more responsibilities so that you can build a resume and apply for higher-paying roles, start your own business, etc. I’m imagining this person, if not trolling, works a low-wage, unskilled job, and that’s their justification for not being able to save anything. But still, to act like someone who works for 37 years and can’t afford their own home or retirement is a victim of circumstances outside their control is nonsense.

Of course none of this has anything to do with Elon Musk. Who, by the way, has given many of his employees opportunities to become rich by owning stock in his company. Somebody being a trillionaire has nothing to do with somebody being 52 with no retirement savings lol. This post says nothing of substance. It’s just envy, bitterness, and resentment.

past a certain age in life when people post something like "I'm 52, worked my whole life, and I'm broke" they are actually just asking to be placed in a conservatorship. they aren't able to govern their own affairs, and they would be better off under the guidance of a responsible adult. Unfortunately, modern society thinks this would be "in-humane" and that this person should still allowed to take out loans, sign leases, get a credit card, serve on a jury, and vote just like us. When in reality their desperate existence only serves to enrich people who don't care about them. We've nominally abolished slavery yet this person's has made a lifetime of choices to become one. As Aristotle points out they are a natural slave.

each one of these is funnier than the last one.

Thanks for clarifying. I will remember that all interactions with them are like trying to diffuse a bomb. I love living alongside a culture that seems to have the social mores of the Russian aristocracy about "respect" but then has zero actual honor. We might as well pretend they are samurai and we are peasants who can get cut down at their pleasure as they test a new blade.

Gotta say the "starwars name" meme has had mental staying power for me is that since English can use both romance and germanic roots for meaning so you can instantly portmanteau a hilarious double meaning to any name.

White Boy Summer is a pathway to many abilities some consider to be unnatural.

The dei quotas didnt make him turn all the scenes in to a foggy English bog instead of the sunny Mediterranean, or scrap the historical and visually interesting armor for generic iron plates (its the bronze age fyi), or use the most recent and genuinely bad translation as a source. I honestly would not care a few race swapped characters if it actually celebrated the source otherwise. Its a skinsuit of a film that is calling itself the odyssey and the casting is probably the least egregious part.
