Can retire

I will never be able to retire, I will just become feral and wander into the woods to die

If I retire, I’m probably going to be sharing Marxist and Anarchist extremist content on Facebook the way boomers still post about Obama today.

This was the common “retirement” for peasants living under heavy serfdom. They faced hunger every year so the old people unable to work “went to forest for firewood” or “go to hunt” to die there with some dignity and remove the excess mouth. A lot of time this was forced, and it happened not only to old people but to disabled, women and children, especially in worse years.

How is that even determined?

Pensions aren’t really a thing anymore, so… Retirement funds I suppose?

I feel like there’s probabilities associated with that stuff. Most people’s retirements are tied to stock markets
