@redpillschool regardless, the transformation stories you read are pretty incredible
If SS were treated like an investment, or even just a savings account (i.e. you pay into a fund against which you can draw in your later years), I'd agree, but I expect you know as well as I do that ain't how it works. The money we're paying in now is being paid right back out again to those currently collecting SS benefits. In ~30 years when we're old enough to qualify, our SS benefits will come from those paying into the system at that point.
Assuming SS is even still around then, which I ain't counting on.
As I said, it is and always has been a terrible system; a literal Ponzi scheme built on the assumption nothing will ever go wrong and the population will never shrink. The Social Security Act should never have been drafted as a bill, let alone signed into law, and now it's just one more economically incompetent socialist mess we'll have to clean up - hopefully before the consequences of that incompetence can cause catastrophic damage to our nation.

Answer questions directly, quit explaining your answer. If an explanation is needed, they'll ask.
MRP is still active because they banned uncomfortable truths in a deal with the devil to avoid quarantine by the reddit admin.
Last time I interacted with MRP, they were still suggesting marriage as a good option in western culture, so .. smart? Or rationalizing bad decision making? You be the judge.
As the miniseries producers subvert the reality to suit their goals, so does Rollo. Flipping the script.
I wont go back to the video to remember the examples, but thats what I have heard.
