Is this really a winning strategy for Reform these days?
>>532195553So what is this triple lock anyways?
>>532195553What a fucking ass-backwards stance.Pandering for boomer votes is pathetic.
>>532195553pandering to boomers is all politicians know how to do
>>532195553the only point of boomer pseudo-rightism is kicking the can of societies collapse down the road until the moment after their last gasp
>>532195553>old people white>young people niggershe has a point
>>532195938it works until the day when young people vote as often as old people (never)
>>532195899State pension increases to match inflation. It's obviously insane but no party is willing to go back on it.
>>532196403state pension is a scam, if you calculate the money you pay for it, even at the bank's interest rate you are getting less than what you contributed (accounting for life expectancy).US is correct in what they do
>>532195553>paid into the systemMoney paid "into the system" 20 years ago were spent on pensions 20 years ago.Now fewer young people are supposed to pay the pensions of more old people with their contributions.This is not sustainable.
>>532195553Merz has done the same shit here in Germany.When the young parliamentarians in his faction said that the pension reforms are unfair because they offload all the burden onto young people, he simply went>That might be true, but you only win elections with the old peopleNone of these fucks gives a single shit about doing what's good for the nation. The only thing that matters to them is to receive a seat in parliament, because politicians are horribly overpaid. Fucks with no qualification for fucking anything really easily receive 12k++/month, when in the industry they could be happy about 2-3k really.
>>532196687Boomers also never paid into anything, they ran the state at a perpetual deficit.If I put 10 bucks into my piggy bank and then use my credit card to spend 100 bucks, I haven't "contributed 10 bucks to my retirement funds". I put myself into 90 bucks of debt.
>>532196687>Money paid "into the system" 20 years ago were spent on pensions 20 years ago.Money is fungible. It makes no difference what money was used when.Current money is always paid by working people. This is true for invested money, your investment only work if theres people to work in the companies. Theres no practical difference between the solidarity model of pension and the investment model.
>>532195553Young people aren't lazy. It's just that you've taken their countries away from them, and any semblance of a future as well. They're not lazy, they have no motivation because there is nothing to work for. Thank you for coming to my Ted Talk.
>>532195553politics for old people by old people.why? because they are the largest voter base.they also dont care what happens to the rest of society because they got their stuff and they will be dead before shit hits the fan.young people basically have no voice since they constantly get outvoted by these selfish corpses.the result is a society that treats anyone below 60 as a lemon that gets squeezed dry to the last drop.
>>532195553you little shits better not be wasting my pension money on avocado toast, better import 100k more indians just to be safe
>>532195553Still voting Restore Britain.
>>532195553We need to murder these old fag sociopathsthey will print infinity dollars and infinity jeets just to make sure the boomers make it safetly to their death. income disparities increase. And the people that can work are woke enough to say fuck you and die
>>532195553>zio-faggot farage saysnobody cares, mentally disabled faggothe's a zioniststop being learning disabled, do some research on the israeli-faggot support he gives, and then tell the anti-british prick to go fuck himself
>>532195553
>>532195938I'm pretty sure boomers still outnumber X, M, and Z combined by at least 4-5 to 1.
>>532200815no wonder the jewK is so eager to antagonize russia and send young white brits to their deaths
>>532195938Is the age the party has, one day anon will realize what they consider old is an spectrum
>>532195553Ever notice how it is almost impossible to explain to a pensioner that they did not pay into a pot. They seriously believe their taxes went into something like a savings account and they are taking out what they saved up.Pensions are an unsustainable ponzi scheme. But like an upside-down pyramid.
It's boomers' right to live to 125, and your responsibility to make that happen.
>>532195553You have to punish boomers sometimes
>>532195553Is anything going to change under reform or will it continue the trajectory of turning great britain into a multicultural gau shithole where the indigenous british race is destroyed?Look we got Trump in power. We almost got Farage in power. So what? The homo deep state is still there. They are doing this anti woke nonsense while the demograohic changes are pretty much irrevwrsible and the parasitic economic migrant newcomers guarantee thst left wingers will win again in the future.What you guys have to realise is that Vladimir Putin is the God emperor, and the Russians dying in the mud and in horrible conditions in Ukraine are the saviors of all of humanity. How much more so since so many people spit on them.They are sacrificing themselves for all od humanity.
>>532197426Based Birb. Juice ain't worth the squeeze.
>>532196403>>532195899>>532196671It's far worse. It compounds annually by the highest of inflation, wage growth or 2.5%. This means pensions never grow at a slower rate than average wage, but often grows faster. >2025 - CPI is 6%, wage growth is 2%. Pensions rise 6%>2026 - CPI is 4%, wage growth is 5%. Pensions rise by 5%>2027 - CPI is 2%, wage growth is -1%. pensions rise by 2.5%
>>532195938It's a two-pronged effort. One side is pandering for boomer votes, but even if that doesn't work, it's crafting a narrative in support of dismantling pensions/social security, which is simply going to have to happen in many western countries over the next few decades.
>>532202505This, triple lock means pensions are guaranteed to grow faster than the rest of the economy. British boomers make other boomers seem positively generous.
>>532195553the argument shouldn't be old vs young the argument should be why the fuck waste hundreds of billions for foreign war and regime change, crisis after crisis and never work on the problem at hand. The same issues as 40 years ago and still the same solutions
>>532195938Worked for Brexit.
>>532202259>Pensions are an unsustainable ponzi scheme.Pensions are fine. A succession of shit governments addicted to borrowing, immigration and feathering their own nests are the problem.
>>532197426I missed bitcoin and nvidia. My only goal is to have enough money saved so the next 20x will be a guaranteed 5 milliondollar return.
>>532195553>paid into the system>debt is 10x more compared to when they were workingboomers are a plague
>>532195553>they're gonna pull up the pension ladder when the last boomer bites itCalling it now.
>>532197276>Money is fungible. It makes no difference what money was used when.You don't say, Strull...
