RE: Dtube Exclusive - BuzzSteem Ep. 35 [Easing the Elderly into Crypto]

Well that's my guess. The fed has been playing with SS money that they weren't supposed to be touching and "borrowing from Peter to pay Paul" as it were. So now the only way for the boomers to get their SS is supposedly having the gen xers and millennials work to the bone so we can continue to supplement the income that the government stole. I call bullshit. I think it needs to be calculated how much everyone paid in and distributed back to the people who paid. If we have to cut every stupid unneccessary program, and every government job that isn't a necessity, then so be it. Those older people deserve the money they involuntarily had to give up! At that point, there may very well be older people who are interested in Crypto, but I imagine it is an idea lost on many, and they still need money to live.

Sorry, what's SS? Whatever it is, the whole thing sounds awful. I really liked your comment about 'if we even have a government' because, quite frankly, this model just isn't working for us. I often think about new forms of government for the new world, but haven't come up with anything good yet. We've got ourselves into a bit of a bind.

Sorry. It stands for Social Security. The ponzi scheme that the government set up at the turn of the last century!
