    Just Americans?

    Given the level of financial inequality across the planet, I’d hazard a guess that this experience is significantly more widespread than just one country.

      I was just reading an article about how France’s new PM resigned after 14 hours because to some degree they’re all afraid of tackling the issue of no one being able to afford living anymore. There’s obviously more to it, but my British boss working in the states also told me about how the UK basically had zero options for normal people too. It’s rough everywhere, but we also shouldn’t let that stop us here in the US from trying to make progress on the issue at home.

      Yeah and some countries never had retirement, at least like they do here. If we’re hurting they’re dying.
