Former President Donald Trump had bragged about his success in opening the region to oil production after decades of political fighting over the resources locked under the tundra there.

    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.

        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.
