Slaves Work Until They're in The Grave

Hey Senior Jessies

I feel like I'm one of the few people looking at the signs and thinking how people have accepted this as normal? We have a few people making noise, like the public defecators in San Fran, the Yellow Jackets in Paris and the Hong Kong protestors. While this may seem unrelated to the untrained eye, all of them are saying the same thing.

They are fed up with the financialisation of human lives and banker occupation over peoples livelihoods. While these few boomers and mostly Millenials still have the youth on the side and have the will to fight the over 65 population feel they have no choice but to go along with the system until they die.

They're too tired to put up a fight, they gave their lives in servitude of their respective countries and companies, and now they're up shit creek without a paddle.

The golden years are for the rich

Since the rest of the world's economies are shitty replicas of the US's shit show, they call an economy lets take a look at what's happening over there. In the so-called land of opportunity, 10 million people over the age of 65 will have to continue working because they cannot afford to retire. This figure is more than double what it was in 1985; they will have to work until they die.

Sound familiar? Yes, there were plenty of Americans working until their backs gave out and died; they were called slaves. Even slaves realised this was a shit deal, and many would try to escape and find a better life, but now, there's no option. You're fixed into your mortgage and then settled into living off whatever was left after all that debt you accumulated.

Unfortunately for many of the older generation, they thought someone was looking out for them, that these products and pension schemes were in their interest and their financial future was taken care of, they were sold the dream of retirement to enjoy your final years in peace, but that's been slowly stripped away.

More and more retirees realise that that was all a dream and they cannot afford to retire.

The bedrock is eroding

They say the elders are the bedrock of society, well if they made shit financial decisions that got them fucked over and it took them 50 years to realise it, what hope is left for the rest of us? What hope do their kids have when they were taught the same things? How many times will this cycle repeat itself until people realise they need to take back ownership of their lives, their money and their right to freedom.
