    It seems that he’s planning to make it so that people can afford to have families with subsidies and better salaries… Right? Or is his open to ease the processes of immigrating to the US so that new people can contribute to social security?

    I’m sure it’s one of the two. Or both

    I can’t believe the country of guns and freedom is letting those guys at their government.

    If you don’t want to fight, you should really gtfo.

    This is the type of shit I used to read in books at school.

      Remember how you all were bashing Russians for not doing enough to stop Putin and his war? Yeah, it seems that a democratic nation with guns is doing even less. Gives you a perspective on why things are the way they are.

      I really don’t get it’ where this myth of freedom and democracy originated. Especially that life shows us real USA face all the time now.

      The only freedom there was, was for billionaires to treat people like slaves.

      The guns were pointed at gays, minorities, liberals, and communists in order to free themselves from the tyranny of other people daring to exist in their presence.

      If they are killing people, they are not doing it in broad daylight for all the satellites to pick up. This is a fucking idiotic thing that people keep bringing up.

        I very much doubt they care at this point. No one is trying to stop them. They could do it in broad daylight for every satellite to pick up, claim it is “construction work” and way too many would eat it up and run with it.

    People were already not going to be able to ever retire since at least 40 years ago.

    Oh wait, I guess people is just realizing it

    In The Wealth of Nations, the general gist is that it is the labor of the people that creates the wealth of the State.

    So this gets interpreted by the oligarchs as: Humans only have value if they are able to provide labor we can exploit. Once they can no longer provide labor, they have no value.

    I dislike Elon as much as the next guy but this post is distorting what he said. Social security depends on population growth to remain solvent. If people are living longer than projected and there are fewer working people, then you have a balance issue. I wish it was implemented as a 401k and each person gets back what they put in, but it is too late now. I’m all for increasing collection on social security and removing caps to make it solvent.

    Is this intended to be surprising? He’s not saying anything that people haven’t been saying for decades. Nor has this been any kind of a secret.

    He could do something against the average lifespan and off himself.

    Seriously what the hell is this timeline.
