“sir we’ve successfully bled every penny from the millennials, they’ll never save a dime. Everything they make will be immediately paid back out. The only way to make more from them is to pay them more.”
“Ok, give them all a raise”
After 20 minutes of roaring laughter, the boss wipes the tears from his eyes
“Ok no seriously just milk gen X and the boomers next.”
“Life under capitalism has become unlivable and we won’t acknowledge the issue, and instead will blame COVID and market crash.”
people works 40 years of their lives, and idk depending on countries, they save a certain percentage for their retirement, say 30%. that equates to 13 years of retirement from their own dime. but most people live beyond 13 years after 60 years of age: people reach 90 and 100 years. so their wage of 40 years should take into account another 40 years of living in retiremement, so people’s wages should be 5/3 what they are earning now, and i probably doubt that people are getting their saved money worth adjusted to inflation, since it should increase in value: and capitalism shouldnt expect people to bring kids if parents arent really enjoying their lives and living on only 2/3 of their salary for 40 years, and probably arent expecting to live much through their retirement, else work is just about grinding human meat and nothing more, and current meat is expected to reproduce fresh meat on their dime to feed the grinder: people need to be paid for bringing kids if their purpose is to feed capitalism else this is no way of living and current employment wages aren’t really sustainable and it would lead society to its demise.
on my part i dont plan on having kids and spending on them from my own pocket only to feed them to the grinder. want kids ? pay me accordingly.
Very dystopian depiction but very accurate in my opinion. Thanks. :)
