    When you say “fuck investors” do you also mean everyone who has any savings or pension? Because these people are investors.

    Like, fuck me for opening a HISA and contributing to my RRSP?

      Nah I know the system that regular workers have to use for retirement, because the system’s warped to only work that way. And then they get shitty, or no retirement because of how it works, they’re competing in a contest that rewards the wealthiest, and the prize is more money. It should be truly savings, from an income not obliterated by the wealth inequality we have from an investment economy, or better supported by taxes from the new generation of workers, that right now have been steadily becoming less and less able to support retirees, again from wealth inequality because investment is a broken feedback loop that concentrates money away from the bottom.

      Lots of people have to make use of systems they dont agree with.
