Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Stupid deflection and "most" is wildly inaccurate, unless you're talking about boomers, who by your standards, should be thanking Biden then
Fine, not "most" then. Practically all mature adults who are a net benefit to society have 401k's.
Define "net benefit to society." Does that include the entire service industry, much of which does not offer 401(k) plans? I'd like to see what you would do without all the people who pamper you.
net tax payer, depending on where you live that's something like 60-80k per year. and 401k is just the most common of many ways to save for retirement. The biggest loss would be the house cleaners for sure.
You think house cleaners would be the biggest loss? How about waiters? How about cooks? How about fucking janitors?
None of them are a net benefit to society? Well then why even have those jobs? They're a net loss to society.
I Don't go out much. The house cleaners do pamper me though.
There's the Republican moral compass. Unless you're giving corporations extra spending cash, you're a detriment to society.
ooh boy, you need to hear this. Social security will NOT provide you enough to live in retirement. You really should learn about and invest in a 401k or some sort of retirement account.
