Social security and pensions I think.
I don't know of any millennial or younger who assumes there will be a safety net for them at the end of the road. We just don't trust those in charge to keep it. I'll fight for it, I paid into it and I want others to have it, but I can't bank on it either
There's simply no way to keep pensions. It's like a big pyramid scheme where new people are putting the money and old people are enjoying them; the problem is that old people are growing and they've been living longer, and young people are less and less.
The problem is the owners don't pay their fair share, nothing else.
Productivity has risen to cover everything.
