regardless of how the paid off media puts it Tim Walz is not like us and our neighbors who are struggling under high inflation including high taxes with paychecks that are not living wages with no healthcare
Because he has pensions? The entire point of pensions are to give working-class people the kind of income Tom Walz has right now. I'm going to vote for the candidates fighting for union rights and against the candidates who think employees who try to organize should be fired.
Yes boomer... nobody younger than Gen X gets one anymore... wtf
Ok doomer. My wife and I are both solidly millennials who bought a house in the 2010s for $230K then refinanced in 2021 at the lowest interest rate, so we have a very affordable payment. Interest rates will go back down again, and home prices in my city are well off their 2023 peak and continuing to trend down
Wtf does this have to do with pensions?
🤡
Um, no. Want a pension? Go work the jobs Tim did - generally federal workers, teachers railroad workers, postal employees, state employees, etc. have pensions and/or annuity plans.
lol this article is like blaming plastic straws for the climate crisis when billionaires go to their bathroom with an airplane
