What will we do about the looming retirement crisis?

I’m too lazy to look it up, but why did the option of moving an individuals SS to an owned investment account die and never return?

Gov workers in Indiana have had a vesting, owned public like 401k option for a long time. I didn’t want to go the pension route for a number of reasons, one being I didn’t plan on being around long enough to vest. But I would have chosen the 401k like plan regardless. Im also a saver by nature though.

Because Democrats demagoged the idea and showed Republicans throwing grandma off the cliff.

How do you keep those from turning into Cabrini Green though?

Build smaller - not high rise apartment buildings Hold administrators accountable. Put a police station in the complex.

Raise the cap and treat benefits as normal income for taxation purposes. That's enough. I don't want the government telling an office worker with a bad back that he has to work longer than a fit and healthy laborer.

Huh? My SS income is treated as normal income for taxation purposes.

The only thing I know is that the Boomers will not be forced with reckon with another of their generational mistakes.

The “Me Generation” strikes again.

That's right - pay up, bitches!

I was reading a story that AI was asked to create a new computer chip design. It did and performs better than what humans design. They use random shapes and so far humans don't know why they perform better.

Of course the first couple AI attempts did not work, it isn't perfect yet. But allowing it to design the chips that will lead the robot revolution isn't a good idea.

AI-designed chips are so weird that 'humans cannot really understand them' — but they perform better than anything we've created

AI models have, within hours, created more efficient wireless chips through deep learning, but it is unclear how their 'randomly shaped' designs were produced.

You guys watching the Dune prequel (sorry, don't know the name) on Max that shows an advanced society that bans any 'machine thinking' because of a robot war that almost destroyed mankind?

The series itself is kind of slow and confusing, but the idea of banning 'machine thinking' is pretty radical.

The problem with this is the same problem I have with forgiving student debt: we’re rewarding people who haven’t been responsible…at the expense of those who have.

Our public policy should do the reverse. It should reward responsibility and punish irresponsibility.

Yep, whatever you subsidize, you get more of.
