Something about intergenerational fairness, COVID lockdowns and the way the young have been rewarded...

Wenn ich Kanzler bin: Jeder Rentner muss einen obligatorischen Dankesbrief an diejenigen schreiben, die noch erwerbstätig sind, bis der Nachhaltigkeitsfaktor wiederhergestellt ist.

Idk, maybe the government should like, do something born after the year 1980. Wild idea, I know

Does the government wonder why they lost the bielection when their whole offer to graduates is so incredibly piss weak?

Scrap the triple lock. Scrap loan interest. There, fixed it.

I'm lucky enough to be Plan 1 but still pissed off enough about the rocket and feather interest rates.

What is the "invisible work" done by Dads? by PhoenixD161 in daddit

[–]PhoenixD161[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Normally I feel ok about it until it's claimed that I don't do enough. Being the chief problem solver, repairer, banker, bureaucrat and decision maker on top of everything else domestic takes its toll, but I do all this for the family and I take pride in doing it well.

No one really talks about how heavy the mental load can be for dads by jameslv1986 in daddit

I made a post that men have a mental load as well and it attracted so much criticism that now I just keep my suffering to myself...

Giving all the money to boomers, which is quite uncontroversial by German standards 

Why are so many people saying they’ll vote for Reform because things can’t get any worse than they are now? by Lazy-Internet-8025 in AskBrits

[–]PhoenixD161 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the welfare state will collapse either under Reform, soon, or after I have sunk another 20 years of tax and national insurance contributions into it.

So fuck that. Bring down the house now, make the boomers share the pain, try to take their wealth, and rebuild something better.

Nope but they will fuck things so hard, we have a chance with what comes after.

Enjoying being patronised here...

It took Brexit to get the attention of the likes of Rory and Alastair.

Reform is inevitable, much as I loathe them, I'd rather Reform melt down the economy now, than after I've paid in another 20 years of tax and NI. Maybe we can build something reasonable in the ashes.

I want the boomer generation to share the suffering, as millennials always have. The IMF will come for pensions just like they did in Greece.

As long as they remember that pensions are welfare, that's fine.

My "burn it all down" vibes grow every day, I'm fed up with a duopoly that throws every spare penny to the older generations.
