@AdHocToth @mkultra @Owl @BowsacNoodle @Groomschild @Humber @graf At least the Japanese aren't on record telling their fans who weren't big fans of the nigger riots a few years back that they "will not be missed." -

@idea_enjoyer @BowsacNoodle @BroDrillard @Balrog @Eiswald @GrungeQueef @RealRaul @Robert_Edwardly @sickburnbro Your best bet is to talk to a certified financial planner and tell them you want safe, long term investments. Then forget about that investment fund until you retire (if you retire). -

The potato harvest is less impressive than I'd hoped. Not bad, but not stellar. The kennebec variety I'm growing are very tasty, but not sufficiently different from the humble russet. Next year, I think I'll split my harvest between russets and kennebecs to decide which to invest in going forward. More thoughts after I harvest the next batch at the end of next month -

@BowsacNoodle @Robert_Edwardly @sickburnbro @BroDrillard @Balrog @Eiswald @GrungeQueef @RealRaul It sounds like we're getting screwed either way. At least with a 401k, I get the money my employer promised me now instead of probably never. -

@Balrog @GrungeQueef @RealRaul @Eiswald The "social safety net" model of pensions has failed utterly and didn't last that long either. A government pension system relies on continuous population and economic growth, printing money to the detriment of the economy, or only paying out a miniscule number of people.
Your last example kind of shoots your case in the foot. Thanks to social security, the boomers don't need to be financially responsible or good to their kids, so they liquidate their assets. -

@BowsacNoodle @Robert_Edwardly @sickburnbro @BroDrillard @Balrog @Eiswald @GrungeQueef @RealRaul That doesn't address my main argument against pensions. -

@Robert_Edwardly @sickburnbro @BroDrillard @Balrog @Eiswald @GrungeQueef @RealRaul No, the fundamental issue is that a 401k contribution from your employer is a part of the payment for work you did rendered when you did it, not a mere promise that you'll be paid later which the company cannot guarantee. -

@Robert_Edwardly @sickburnbro @BroDrillard @Balrog @Eiswald @GrungeQueef @RealRaul Correct, which is why I favor employees getting paid when they work, not at some unspecified future date. Pensions are also a gigantic money pit for companies that make them uncompetitive and very likely to go under, fucking both current employees and pensioners. -

@BowsacNoodle @sickburnbro @BroDrillard @Balrog @Eiswald @GrungeQueef @RealRaul Gun to my head, I'd take the latter over the former, but that doesn't change the fact that I don't trust the average worker with anything more than their job (if that, tbh). ESG is a separate issue and is tied to a business's credit needs. ESOP doesn't solve that. -

@BowsacNoodle @sickburnbro @BroDrillard @Balrog @Eiswald @GrungeQueef @RealRaul ESOP is basically just another form of compensation like 401ks. It's fine, but I absolutely do not trust the average employee with any sort of say in how a company gets run. -

@sickburnbro @Balrog @GrungeQueef @RealRaul @Eiswald No, pensions are absolutely a problem. They rely entirely on consistent and continuous growth, which no company or government can even come close guaranteeing. They're a gigantic scam that bilks workers out of compensation for the pinky promise that these companies will be oh so responsible with their finances when you want to retire. On the government side, they just print more money, which erodes the value of currency and is a nice spit in the face of responsible savers. Either way, pensions are bullshit -

@BroDrillard @sickburnbro @Balrog @Eiswald @GrungeQueef @RealRaul >Pension funds that people pay in, but politicians can't loot (to buy votes)
Better yet, every person's needs are different, so why not have a pension system where the portion of a worker's income that would go into a pension instead gets paid out during the worker's normal pay period into a fund that be saved until retirement. -

@sickburnbro @BroDrillard @Balrog @Eiswald @GrungeQueef @RealRaul Inflation is a problem regardless. At least with a 401k, you can cash out and you're not relying on a company remaining solvent and able to pay its pension obligations, or the government pinky swearing they'll pay for a comfortable retirement for you. -

@ColdOnesLite That woman's online presence is an irrefutable proof of St. Paul insisting women remain silent and defer to their husbands on spiritual matters. -

Astrology is either pseudoscience or demonic. For the sake of this stupid hole, she had better hope it's just pseudoscience. Accept Jesus.
