I’m really conflicted about this. On the one hand, I am not defined by my contribution to the economy, the value capital owners are able to skim off my labour. Fuck off with that.
On the other, 50-64 year olds who could afford to retire early are exactly the demographic buying into nativist anti-immigration rhetoric resulting in this, and it’s a bit funny thinking about that group getting hoisted by their own petard.

They’re not getting hoisted by anyone’s petard. It’s not the people who can afford a comfortable retirement the liberals* have in their sights here.
