Booker: For people with 401(k) accounts and retirement savings, they’ve lost thousands. I’ve been hearing from people who had hoped to retire this year after working 25, 30, or even 35 years, but now they don’t think they have enough money because he’s taken $6 trillion overall out of the markets.

Chinese meme makers are having a field day with America's golden age of re-industrialization. youtu.be/Qn5RamAEt3E?...
The new US "manufacturing jobs" for life:Everyone working at them from cradle to grave. Hope everyone enjoyed that middle-class dream of enjoying their 'golden years' sunning themselves in AZ/FL on social security/pensions bc this meme is closer to the truth than a lot of Americans want to accept.
There seems to be a recurring problem with YouTube videos having titles that make it difficult for some people to share with others. How about publishing each video twice once with the normal style of title and once with a toned down title suitable for sharing with those who haven’t seen the light.
It would be possible to set the 2nd version as unlisted in the video catalog in YouTube to avoid the duplication looking untidy or dragging the stats down.
I really hate the “destroys” language, rather than just saying “explains why XXXXX is bad”. It makes it impossible to share the videos with anyone not already converted to the cause, because it’s framed in such a bombastic way.
You don’t even need to share it. The market is still crashing. bsky.app/profile/atru...
This is bombastic.
Yes. And they do it across all of their associated channels.
Everything on YT is clickbait to get attention. They love to use words like destroy, humiliate, etc. A film critic put Coppola's Megalopolis on his list of the worst films of the year to please his followers. Coppola deserves respect but critic did this to him just for views and money. Disgusting!
It’s the bane of the YouTube presenter. Titles selected by YouTube to get more clicks.
This is BSky, we mainline bombastic

This is one problem with neologism . It may appeal to a % of readers/users, but it’s unappealing to a large group too.
I've said this a few times over the years on videos. Thank you for bringing it up again, as it's so important. I have refrained from sharing dozens of videos because the cover image is so ridiculous that it's either absurd, too OTT, or doesn't even go with the reason I wanted to send it.
INSTANTLY regrets it. Etc. short term click-bait at the expense of good work. All of these people trivialise resistance to make a buck. They're part of the problem. (Booker too, who spoke for 25 hours for clout and then confirmed the worst of the MAGA vandals).
I don’t follow Meidas anymore for this very reason. I happened to see this and wanted to agree with you.
You’re right, I should have thought about that!
Me, too.
Yes, just the facts in the headlines, not silly hyperbole which always leads to disappointment.
Even worse, it fuels MAGA’s Trump worship by making it seem like he’s withstanding brutal broadsides and attacks.
Yes, I was going to ad that it enables him! I'm watching Adalm Schiff's YT channel more and always JVL on The Bulwark.
ADDDDDD. Grr
That's me. 😪
But not MTG her stock portfolio looks pretty good
When livelihoods are threatened people get angry & they do things they would not do otherwise. It puts people in a state of desperation, especially if they think they might lose their food, shelter, transportation, retirement, health care. People get desperate, especially if they have dependents.
Yup.
In addition to a chunk of your saving disappearing in only one week, people about to turn 65 have to content with sloppy or no help getting setup on Medicare & Social Security. Trump has F'D seniors & Republicans in congress have done NOTHING to represent them.
I retired 4 years ago. Now I’m screwed. I literally can’t buy food. I would have been just fine! I can’t take a dime out of my retirement! I’m so angry!!! I don’t have 4 years for it to go back up!!
I KNOW YOUVE SEE THIS OR SOMETHING LIKE IT BUT AT THIS MOMENT THIS IS IT THE MOMENT SHARE IT WITH OTHERS PLEASE www.youtube.com/watch?v=CpCK...
Why are people so close to retirement so heavily invested in the equities market?
Maybe revisit the RMD age for withdrawal. Who wants to withdraw on an account that’s down thousands.
And coming for SS.
How about 45 years of work for me, and I was set to retire this year. Now I will be working for who the f*ck knows how long. I want to do terrible things to the people who have stolen my money, and I feel zero guilt about that.
Donald Trump is deliberately crashing our economy & our country. This should be a much bigger story than it is. youtu.be/izljanGbnDA
His moto: keep people poor and stupid (with all his lying) and you’ll be able to have them do whatever you want. Sadly.
bsky.app/profile/gran...
Why can’t @markwarner.bsky.social and @kaine.senate.gov just tell it like it is like this? I always think they are hiding something. Like they are playing both sides against the middle. Maybe they’re corporate lobbyists or ??? would get upset if they would tell us the truth. GET LOUD!
Isn't it 9 trillion now?
If only they had paid more attention to Trump's endless tariff-talk...
It will only hurt for a little while.
It still hurts after a while, your brain gets used to being a modestly free person to being a prisoner but your heart knows your brain is fucked up and you HAVE to be free, otherwise you will be dead. I’m 77 and it’s easier for me to say than you young ppl with your lives ahead of you. Bon chance
I am not a young ppl; I'm 78.
The minute he won, we took our money out. This was predictable and we did not intend to be his victims. Always protect yourself from Rs.
I thought about doing that, but then, thought I was being paranoid. But I would have put a lot of it in bonds and we all saw what happened with that today.
We are retired. I worked 43 years as a registered nurse. Our 401k has taken a huge hit. It’s very scary because we live on this money right now. Congress please do something to stop this dictator!!!!!!
It's all about power. He wants people to be at his mercy. And unless we stop this, we will be... soon.
So not only likely that our SS has been lost due to the things Elon musk and DonOld Trump are doing for me to lose my SS, I’ve lost a lot of my own vested finances after 33 years of working. I have nowhere to go
The only way I could retire after 44 years was with a pension and SS as my main sources of retirement income. I feel badly for anyone at or near retirement who need their 401k to support their retirement and it suddenly is gone.
I was planning to retire this year after being a nurse for 45 years but he’s destroying it for me and others. I cannot hate him enough.
Ditto! Just inspires me to live long enough to see him go.
Hopefully he goes soon. I hate to be like that but he’s destroying our country.
I lost about 15k in 2 days. That is almost half of my yearly income.
You are working for the average annual pay. Just for argument sake. Calculate all the taxes. Direct. And. Indirect. You pay the collection agency in your country. The results will knock you for 6. 🇮🇪🇪🇺
Not sure what you are saying but I live in Seattle and the “median income” is $90,000. Most of us don’t make 1/2 that.
I had so much hope and even felt some joy when I heard his speech. And then the very next day he votes to destroy Gaza. Hope turns to heartbreak once again💔
My brother has worked for the same company for 25 years and his 401K is down 40K he barely has anything left, with 6 years left to retire he doesn't think he can anymore!
37 years and I lost 11% of my 401k in one month. I refuse to pay federal income tax this year. No taxation without representation.
won't work out for you-those tax penalties and interest can ruin your life
Yes TammyJoan - what MiddleAmerica said. Look for another way to protest.
Perhaps we should ask that it be put back.
Worked 25 years???? Oh my. How bout 50?
That would be us! So angry. We worked hard for that money!
Bottom Line: IMPEACHMENT. That is the only “MEDICINE” We The People have to focus on. C’mon people, let’s be Real! The SCOTUS which is the ONLY remedy to the stop against this nightmare it’s all IN to control & Destroy the Checks & Balances of this corrupt administration. We NEED TO IMPEACH!
But 401ks are better than pensions or social security?
great senator, what are you doing about it? talk is less than cheap, especially with a falling dollar and pending out of con-trol inflation. find some courage - rally your fellow cowardly democrats and begin impeachment proceedings. what it the universe of fuck are you waiting for?
I’ll keep saying it … that this wouldn’t be happening if my parents generation was around.they weren’t the answer then and had serious issues that needed rectification.. but they had 29.. a youth that wasn’t pleased and a lot that didn’t see past their 18th. They handled fools a little better.
We’re retired but he got us for 50K. It’s a huge hit and for nothing. I keep coming back to the fact that it’s so irrational there must be something else behind it. When what’s right in front of our eyes looks like it was designed by our enemies: We try not to see it but… THERE IT IS
Oh, I think there’s quite a list of contenders for that title. But he’s doing great so far in his bid to represent US contenders in that category.
@booker.senate.gov have you not learned from the last election? Most folks cannot afford a 401K. Perhaps address those who are living paycheck to paycheck rather than focusing on 401Ks. Yes, retirees are hurting, but so are the working class. Speak to them!
There are likely millions of "working class" people who have 401Ks- both retirees and those still working. Having a 401K does not imply wealth.
There are likely millions more who don’t have a 401K, even if they work.
Not in the slightest, but the term is relatable to most people!
He has taken 6 million out of the market? 😂. Cmon Corey, be accurate.
If we don’t nationwide strike and massive marches now, for as long as it takes to stop the fascist fucks, we’re not going to have the freedom later.
bsky.app/profile/barb... Congress you Must find a way to #RemoveTrump! The #TrumpCrash is all the Morons fault!!!
No worries, they have social security and lower prices! Oh, wait…scratch that,
I’ve worked since I was 15, as has my husband. We did not live extravagantly and managed to raise 4 kids successfully. We retired over a year ago. We’ve lost over $75,000 in the last month, most of it in 4 days. To say I’m mad is an understatement.
Over the years I fucked up and took my annuities from the different locals and used them for vacations and whatever else. Now I'm thinking I did the right thing, atleast I got to spend it MYSELF.
Another fear I have about retirement investment is that Trump is going to change the time that you can cash out. Right now is you have to be 59 and 6 months, I think to avoid higher taxes. What if he changes that to 65 years old. Then everyone has to wait or pay a penalty to the government
Girl, he is taking it all. No medicare no ssa nothing He will steal ur shit when u submit w irs
The main thing I take about all this is diversity in investment. Some people do 40% of retirement in the stock market before they're ready to cash in. That's okay when you're young generally speaking, but now I probably would buy gold over stock market investment or just cash out early.
How much gold would you buy on 15 bucks an hour?
I find your point extremely ignorant as to what I'm talking about. The fact that some people today can't afford to invest in retirement has nothing to do with the money people have already put away. Swing and a miss.
stop the bullshit trump knew exactly what he was doing and he will be executed for it
I find you a dumb elitist prick. The fact that some people are 50% of Americans makes you a trumpet
Who the heck retires after working only 25, 30 or 35 years? I *just* retired, at 70, have been working since I was 16. More than that, if you count neighborhood babysitting at age 12.
Closer to ten.
And wait until they finish stealing the earned benefits we've all paid for.
Remember: YOUR money wasn't lost... someone else has it now. The guys who sold short. The inside traders and those buying up lower valued stocks are waiting until their "friends" make their next move to aid & abet profiteering from this crime. 🤬🤬🤬
11 trillion since coming to office
Yup...looking like much farther out now thanks to everyone giving the genius the reigns...
We did great the first time! We HAVE to do even better this time! He is crazy and more and more people are going to get hurt! We have to fight with everything we have! Bring your friends and family. Share and make everyone aware.
Me. This is me. Looking to retire in next year, not now. Will have to keep working. Trump screwed millions of us!
How are the stock portfolios of Congress doing?
This clown doesn't give a shit! He works for Isra🇮🇱Hell 🤬!
Has anyone considered, that companies getting rid of pensions plans & forcing Americans into gambling on the markets may not be the best way to ensure that all Americans don’t die in poverty. I get the return advantage, but a stock market based economy, is by nature volatile.
I invest, but as an individual investor I own “nothing”, I’m dependent on what someone else will pay, on companies not paying dividends. The s&P 500 P/E is 80% above historical value, 36.8. 90% are also owned by 3 conglomerates, is buying stock even a purchase or a manipulated loan at this point?
It’s true! My siblings are all in their 60’s and either just retired or plan to in the next two years. We are all afraid of not having enough money and not being cared for in our elder years. Guess we’ll need a goodbye pill at some point.
When this ends, the US needs universal healthcare and proper welfare benefits to protect people. Other countries have this. Why can't the US? You guys are all so vulnerable as a result.
They are getting there, aren't they? No empathy for tortured immigrants yet though!
Thoughts and prayers or FAFO?
Who are these folks retiring after 25-35 years. Did they start working in their 30’s.
Try 38 years😖🤬
🙋♀️
We are starting to feel serious panic. Each day our life savings slip away further and further down the the dark hole
Sorry, but anyone who placed their trust and life savings in the hands of this 34-time convicted felon and habitual liar seriously needs a wake-up call.
I voted for Kamala and Hillary before that. I’ve known who he is for years.
None of these people placed their trust in the fascist shitbag.
What about the rest of us?
Local news needs to he covering this
Stealing our Social Security Trust Fund and crashing our 401-K's and IRA's.
www.youtube.com/watch?v=KdBN...
This is us. We were going to retire this year but now we are unsure. My husband does not have an easy job either and his body is wearing out. We worked so hard for our money and it just went up in smokes in a few days. I am numb.
Do your job clown your letting Trump F USA
Sad
I retired after working 50 years and my accounts have shrunk over 11% since the 🍊 🤡 took office.
I'm younger and losing faith in the "401k 🌟" as some gold standard for retirement BUT I was looking at the prospect of having to dip into mine (i cant currently bc it's a weird locked one)- and seeing it dip is like well. hmm.
50 years.....think he might just write me a check for the money he took?
Isn’t that their plan, to work until you die.
Only 35 years? It’s been 53 for me and I’ve got 4 more to go.
As I have said before, Trump not only cares only about himself, but he actively hates normal Americans. The President of the United States HATES US. Let that sink in.
Wait. Economic shitfuckery aside, how are people hoping to retire after working 25 years? You see, even Dem politicians are too wealthy to recognise reality.
I wish y'all can get his dumbass impeached sir
And when cost go up, they never go back down to the original
And he did it without looking back. Trump voters should feel so betrayed. If they don’t just give it time cause he is out to destroy errthang!
If you have any control over your stocks, get rid of US ASAP. Invest in EU stocks, especially weapon manufacturers. Let them oligarch fuckers collecting their own shit until they choke on it.
And silver?
If you want to kill them vampires.😉 Noble metals and rare-earth elements are better than US stonks, though the first's value is volatile as well. A small stock of gold and silver should be at hand, just in case.
As he did it he said “Fuck Them”. How about he save some money and stay in Washington DC every weekend.
Love you Cory, but more like 50 years. Age 17-67.
I’m one of those people!!
And yet Charles Schwab knew to buy today and "made billions". Must be nice!
45 years of working full time, contributing to SS and 401’s and they want to take it before I retire? Hell NO! #HANDSOFF!!!
Iceland imprisoned bankers .. remember
📌
We are one of those families. We’ve been saving and paying into SS for 45 years. We thought we could retire soon. But it seems we may be looking at working til we drop dead. Thanks MAGA *holes.
Goddamned right.
While this is happening, republicans in the Senate and the House in Congress do nothing. Are these people blind to evil? The rest of us watch silently in horror as tragedies like this are happening on a daily basis. STOP THIS ADMINISTRATION BEFORE IT BURNS AMERICA TO THE GROUND!
i worked from the age of 16. worked my way thru college. saved. now I'm 70, with terminal cancer. that fat orange freak cost me $20k that I couldn't afford to lose.
So sorry. 😞
That's what happens when you put billionaires in the cabinet. They have no concept about what it means for working Americans.
Don't feel sorry for people who lose their savings. They could have gotten out Nov 6th.
We don't need your sympathy, but that's unfair. Millions of us voted for Kamala AND have 401Ks.
I understand. We all have to make choices based on personal beliefs. A third of us didn't even care. So we're on our own.
I read an article where they interviewed people who did not vote. The majority of those they spoke with said because of the electoral college and the political leaning of their state, they believed their vote wouldn't matter- not that they didn't care.
Yes. I'm in Ohio where the farmers all love a malicious narcissist and my vote is worthless. But if I don't vote I give in.
I agree that everyone who is eligible should vote. My point was that you said that people who didn't vote don't care, and while I'm sure that apathy exists, it does not appear to be a major factor in this election.
Gen X getting screwed again.
This is just the first of the financial pain we’re going to have. Especially if congress continues enabling dear leaders tariffs.
@booker.senate.gov so what are you going to do about it
Wouldn't it be more accurate to say he's taken $6 trillion dollars out of people's pockets?
This was the purpose. Republicans hate workers retiring and not dying on the job.
6 figures lost. No where to hide.
I'm begging every Democrat to phrase this correctly and lay the blame squarely on every single member of the GOP. None of this would be happening if not for Congressional Republicans.
Stop loss orders or wait 'till the market comes back. It may get worse.
And for those of us already retired it’s pretty scary.
Just let it ride! STOP! >> It is the number of shares that count. << Stock prices change daily.
Gosh if ONLY we'd had warning like members of Congress did.
www.bbc.com/future/artic...
Facts! My 401(k) is down 6.5% in the last month
6.9%. Basically back to 2020 levels
Tariffs are a tax to cover the tax break for Billionaires. He doesn't care about the working people, old people , sick people, disabled people, or any people. Just rich people. Goodwill & garage sales are going to be very popular soon. I will not spend any money unless it's absolutely necessary.
Yep! Stocked up on necessities. Going to buy lots of chicken tomorrow, then I’m done for a long while.
Trump new slogan: Make Americans Work Longer and Longer. Eliminates retirement. Why retire when you can work yourself to death.
If you are a Trump insider, you are likely cleaning up on his game of on again, off again tariffs. Someone is making big money off his little charade with the markets.
👆🏾👇🏾”Booker: Personas con cuentas 401(k) y ahorros para la jubilación han perdido miles. He escuchado de gente que esperaba retirarse este año tras trabajar 25, 30 o hasta 35 años, pero ahora creen que no tienen suficiente dinero porque él ha sacado 6 billones de dólares del mercado.”
youtu.be/7MBaGjVdaIk?...
Suppose to retire in August. That’s gone. I will be working up to lunch on the day I die As everyone said early on, follow the money. Who stole our money because that is exactly what they did? Someone got rich, our reputation in the world is shot and that fat bastard will pretend he fixed everything
@maddow.msnbc.com
Take your story to the news! People need to hear these effects on real Americans!
Can’t he be stopped. He hates Americans,
This is not helping us it’s hurting us and the entire world! This is unlawfully justified to IMPEACH
The dow and s&p are almost at 20 % bear market territory. So most people have lost 1/5 of their savings. This is good evidence that social security is needed as a safety net.
For some of us this is the second time our 401ks have taken a nose dive through no fault of our own. The Great Recession caused by greed and stupidity and this self-inflicted wound caused by greed and stupidity. I TRIED TO DO EVERYTHING RIGHT! I SAVED MONEY FOR MY FUTURE AND NOW IT’S GONE. AGAIN.
Coup d'etat is the only answer.
Down $11 trillion since Inauguration Day. For the average American, who has less than $70,000 in a retirement savings account losing 15% is a fucking gut punch and means you’re working an extra decade
Well but a lot of billionaires made a shit load of money today… even before the tax cuts.
📌
This plus uncertainty about SS. I know someone who planned to retire at the end of this year. Now she’s afraid to retire.
i wonder who Trump told about his tariffs pause in advance 🤔 would've been very lucrative information to have to see who made out like a bandit today
My first thought.
I’m one of those people. And for what? For this billionaire to keep grifting from the American people? He needs to be held to full account one day. He is committing treason and no one is stopping him. His entire GOP have no balls.
Cory, Trump made a couple of billion selling his Truth Social shares before the tariff announcement. He doesn't give a shit about the almost overnight 10% hit to my IRA.
Thankfully we're all still 💪🏽 to the 🦷🦷🦷
Billionaire are now buying back in…….buying LOW…..making all kinds of money……was this a scam
❤️🩹❤️🩹❤️🩹🇺🇸
Thank you @booker.senate.gov for standing up for the people.
People are retiring after working 25 years?
Please primary @schumer.senate.gov.
THE EMPEROR HAS NO CLOTHES
It’s going to have a ripple effect for the younger generations when the older generations don’t retire
That has been the main problem for millennials- no upward mobility because those at the top can't/wont retire.
Right. That’s been the issue for Gen X for years
Thank you for pointing this out for Gen X as well. It is absolutely infuriating how people jump straight from Boomers to Milennials, thereby erasing a whole generation of people.
Fox News: Donald Trump increases available labor supply by 200K this month...
I don't understand why every investment fund includes Tesla
Because the media is paid for
Utter cruelty impeach
This fucking idiot of a PINO just made $12,000+ disappear from my hardworking daughter's 401K. What a piece 💩Does not have a care for a hardworking single mother with a family who she plans on sending to college. I am so pissed. Fuck This Guy 🖕
America thinks it is the last drink of water in the dessert. It's going to have a rough awakening.!!
Trump thinks we are the center of the universe. Trump will find out that the world doesn't need us. 💔
1 billion percent correct
Anticipating this, I was going to cash out mine last year. Now I really wish I had.
This guy supports continuing the supply of arms to Israel, so they can carry on with their Genocide/barbaric slaughter. 😡 Not a pleasant guest.
This will be the 3rd recession my 401k has endured. It’s hard to reap the benefits of compound interest when it takes years to get back to baseline.
Fits exactly where I am. Everyday a new kind of sick about all of this.
Tens of thousands
And those of us who retired comfortably are now questioning what next
And even with today’s rally still down on the year.
We have lost 1/4 of our investment savings- these are shared dividends given to all employees of a big agricultural cooperative in France. My parents have lost a third of their pension! My son has just started contributing to his 401k in the US and it’s worth Zero!! All this since Friday April 4.
That is correct! Husband retirement plans put on hold as we lost hundreds of thousands of our savings. Time is our most precious asset and that has been stolen from us as he continues to work.
This is one club I never wanted to be a member of.
Husband is required to take the RMD. I will in 1.6 yrs. We've lost 12% in a month. We have NO TIME to "wait it out"!! Stop pontificating & DO SOMETHING
If you haven’t already, try calling or emailing your US Senators and US Rep to tell your story. Personalize the consequences. Even if they are Republicans and won’t do anything, they can’t say all their constituents are okay, unless, of course, they lie.
Oh, I have. I never get a response from Tim Scott or Russell Fry but Lindsey Graham always sends me Trump's talking drivel. SSDD
Lindsey Graham is one of Trumps puppets
Just followed since you're a Ren fan 🧐
You can see the strings attached 😆
I’m pretty much in the same boat with Sens Tillis and Budd, and Rep Edwards. And I still keep calling and emailing. I won’t change their positions, but I feel better. As you say, SSDD
Truth.
Me. I am one of those people.
My spouse's 401k is down 45k since January. It lost the annual funding from his company that goes in in February. Any more loss is $ from prior years. Thanks, FotUS. (Felon of the United States) and everyone of the shits that voted him in!
Not to mention what he's done to prescription meds. From $25 last month to $580 this month. People are going to die because of this.
How has that happened, please? I thought there were no tariffs on pharmaceuticals as yet?
I'm not sure yet. My dad needs to make some phone calls. He's retired and on Medicare.
Oh dear... hopefully just a mix up?
Yup.. that's me. 35 years working in hospice. Ready to call it a career and retire this summer..but, NOPE!
Sometimes you have to simply REMOVE the part that keeps causing all the PROBLEMS in order to resolve all the PROBLEMS!
This is why social security can’t be privatized
Does anyone truly believe that these billionaires are not making a fortune while the stock markets go up or down? This is such a game. They are raking it in. Pound by pound. They are controlling the narrative and by it, controlling the markets. Wake up and smell a10$ cup of coffee.! Manipulation!
66 and worked for close to 50 yrs. This is not the way. I had hoped or ever dreamed my senior years would be. He’s gonna kill off a lot of older folks. And maybe that’s also the goal. So Elon can travel to Mars on our money ! Makes me furious!
I just posted this on my feed and it feels relevant: bsky.app/profile/davi...
I lost $60K so far, I’m 64 and was hoping to retire in 3 years, I’m just broken right now.
Right there with you, Laurie.
Same
Impeach his Shitler ass already
I’m down ~10%. That’s at least one less year of survival after retirement!
Same 9.9% 💔
Hopefully some of it is coming back now. But he can’t be trusted not to cycle through this bs for years.
One estimate how much money people lost due to Booker’s anti-science grifting.
I wish she would stop talking big and actually do something like really filibuster a bill or nomination. Put holds on every regime nominee, grind the Sen to a halt. But his big money donors aren't interested in stopping the coup. Same goes for the rest of them.

I worked for 45 years and just retired last year. I need my Social Security and what’s left of my small annuity.
🤦♀️ 🔥 💰
And the problem is many will find themselves without a job anyone has more and more layoffs hit.
Small crumbs to the billionaire class, but I've lost $5k. Elon wouldn't even waste his time wiping his ass with that.
✋️that's me. 65 hoping to retire soon. Have to rethink those plans. Could be fired before then as I work in research and funds have been cut substantially already. Too scared and tired to be mad.
I’m 64 and his comment that some people have even worked 35 years (!) is a little disheartening. I’ve been working a lot longer than that and it’s not like I’m 80!
Cory ain’t talking about us.
Who IS he talking about?
He is talking about the people who have 401ks, Iras, private pensions that the government will fund if company defaults. He is not talking about the people who put food on table and actually maintain this economy.
That’s disappointing. His speech inspired me last week.
This person will not help you. Take inspiration.
So the fact I haven’t done shit for anyone in my whole life and I just plodded through a 5k inspires you. Cory booker has been a corporate hack a long time. Just on the personal, he is supposedly a vegan and his ass his wider than my driveway. I live in apartment complex
I noticed that too. I’ve been working 30 yrs (20+ as a nurse) and I’m 46. Not many of us are looking at retiring after 20 yrs. Some of us will likely never retire.
Love the fact that US citizens don't care about rights, freedom, and security as all 3 were and are being destroyed- but reduce their investment portfolio and bam - marching in the street. Whatever it takes - remove this criminal government and court!
