    Idk if not having a 401k is a sign of normalcy.

    It used to be pretty fucking normal until they got rid of all the pensions. That’s what Tim’s using for retirement instead of playing the casino stock market.

      And if we’re getting a pension-friendly VP, I’m here for it. But I’m still waiting to see what a Harris/Walz economic policy looks like.

      That’s what Tim’s using for retirement instead of playing the casino stock market.

      My experience with pensions has mostly been through my parents/in-laws. And the experience I’ve had with pensions is that companies/governments can just kinda take them away again by pleading poverty during a period of historic economic expansion.

      Again, I hope Tim’s nomination implies a change in direction. But… we’ll see.
