Kids don't come up with all the woke progressivism spontaneously. It's part of their mal-education.

I agree, but woke progressive/lefty/Marxist/socialist/communist/murderering is a different subject from financial awareness. Wokism is inculcated into the kids from their instructors, no doubt about it, but the instructors have been exposed to it throughout thier educations, including and especially college. They don’t get any financial awareness from any of those avenues.

Are you kidding? The state will take care of you is at the center of all of this. Social security is nothing more than welfare.

Nope, a welfare PONZI SCHEME! It was foisted off on us when people hardly ever made it past 60 years-old. The qualifying age was 62 at the youngest. At that time they had statistics and longevity on thier side and the whole scheme was workable but the population started living longer. If they wanted to repair it they should have been raising the ages to keep up with the longevity, but being the state, they didn’t.
