I doubt they’re impressed, just disdainful if you don’t have one.

The problem is that’s not a sustainable withdrawal rate. Also it’s 10% average before factoring in inflation, so I’m real dollars it’s close to 7% on average, but some years are a negative return, where you’re eating into the principle, and require a portion of the up years to make up for those.

An indefinitely sustainable withdrawal rate is closer to 3.5%.

Also the federal poverty line is horrendously out of touch.

And that’s literally how retirement accounts work, so it’s not really that fucked up a concept

How will you address the hit to morale?

“By making it worse!”

About 4 months before I have to sell any assets. Then about 144 months, not including future growth of those assets before they’re sold. But then I’m broke at nearly 50.

Buy into a broad market tracking ETF (something that tracks s&P 500 or 1000 or similar). That way you’re not betting on individual companies, your betting on the collective largest companies in the world doing well. Over a long period of time, which for over a century has averaged ~7% inflation adjusted return yearly.

Counting your primary residence and your ownership of a multi trillion dollar international corporation are different things entirely.

The richest people in world don’t feel guilt.

That’s a DeBeers diamond cartel propaganda rule of thumb.

Sure. But being out of debt is different from being financially independent.

Hundreds?

That’s enough for like 1.5 households to retire on. That’s it. A million is not as much as it used to be.

I apparently have the uncanny ability of being able to sense when I am drowsy. Call up the X-Men

I didn’t think he’s smart enough, nor remotely trustworthy, for his opinion to matter here.

Pointing to the results of ratfuckery isn’t a great way to prove that ratfuckery didn’t occur. Why do people try to make this argument so often

Yeah, $15 is so put of date. They were pushing for 15 BACK IN 2008, the last time it moved, before housing prices doubled/tripled. 15 would be trash pay, but it’s still TOO MUCH for corporate owned Democrats to even pretend to support

Making him a martyr would be a bad consequence.

Once again failing to hold a president accountable for crimes against the country only keeps that avenue wide open for the future.

There’s two

But maybe we should take away the reasons that make people think divinity supports their actions, instead of them just being shitty people making shitty decisions.

They tried to co-opt the term for their own uses. They didn’t choose it

That reason is right wing propogandists who have a long history of trying to appropriate language others are using and using it as a negative label within their own community to try to distract from all the bullshit they’re doing to those bigots they are distracting.

That’s it.

Right wing ideals have never been consistent. It’s all bluster to push an immediate narrative with no regard to how contradictive it is to their other ideals

I already answered this, you chose to ignore it. I will not repeat, as you’re not arguing in good faith.
