Pensions weren't killed off by Social Security. They were killed off by large corporations lobbying Congress to create the 401(k) in 1978, decades after the start of Social Security. Around 50% of workers had defined benefit plans in the 1970s, to only about 10% today. By switching from "defined _benefit"_ plans to "defined _contribution"_ plans, the companies passed on all the investment risks to the workers/retirees; whereas before, if there was a market crash while you were working, the company would still have been on the hook for the pension amount it promised when you retired.

[@NevadaSmith2]

The other thing Glen Beck types often don’t consider is that when you get paid really well for your work, it’s exponentially easier to work harder and longer hours. Consider the difference of going to work for a full 8 hour day at $20/hour ($160 gross), versus making $200/hour ($1600/8 hour day). Then, if you know that staying a few hours later you’ll make an extra $600, it ain’t hard to stay later. You don’t need to get home to do laundry, mow the lawn, cook a crummy dinner, etc. No, you can afford to people to do those things and eliminate those stresses. Then with your free time, you have plenty of money to take a proper vacation, afford your hobbies, improve the house, eat nice dinners, and enjoy yourself without the constant stresses of money.

[@movdqa]

The Biblical example of retirement is found in Numbers 4 where the tabernacle workers worked from 25-50 years old and then they were to retire from service. BTW, I did think that I'd work forever and then got cancer in my 50s and was permanently disabled from treatment (your body doesn't work as well when they remove organs). And I didn't have a physical job. Those with physical jobs can get work-related injuries; sometimes permanent injuries. But there's also wear and tear that result in smaller injuries but injuries nonetheless.

Basically when blacks were freed, rich white people said, we have no other choice than make everyone slaves now, darn it. Fun fact.

I used to be a libertarian. Yes, I'm embarrassed. Part of the appeal of libertarianism is that you get to think that you're the little guy fighting for freedom. Another part for a lot of libertarians is that you get to confirm your own biases and congratulate yourself on being a free thinker without the hassle of intellectual curiosity or taking the time to look anything up. A lot of self proclaimed libertarians genuinely believe that before Social Security and Medicare older Americans simply had enough money to pay for their expenses and medical bills. Why do libertarians believe this? Well, society existed and we were all eventually born so it must have worked out, right?There is no desire to actually look into the conditions of older Americans prior to these programs. And we can just assume that everyone would have invested their money privately and paid the bills better on their own because that is the libertarian promise. There's no room to discuss the possibility that some people don't earn enough money to save it or that some people have more medical bills through no fault of their own that they could not have anticipated. And there's definitely no room to discuss the possibility that someone might become disabled or that some people might be discriminated against. There's there's absolutely no room to discuss the idea that employers (even those competing in the magical free market) might simply use their employees until they're broken and then kick them out without any lasting benefit.

The old model where you get the gold watch. They forgot to say you get a gold watch AND die of old age in the factory.
