Reminder that inflation isn't a phenomenon that's beyond our understanding or ability to control. Inflation is the result of business owners choosing to raise prices in order to increase their rate of profit. That's all it is.

Bold of this article to think the fundamentals of the economy will survive the coming climate apocalypse. Where the hell can I invest my money in growth when everything is either burning or flooding. Coffins?!?
Yeah, the future looks pretty bleak for young people. I'm in my 30's and my retirement plan is fighting for survival or, preferably, dying.
Don't worry, you will die of starvation long before your die of fire and flood.
Can you do me next? How do I die?
Anal fissures.
Ok, me next. What's gonna do me in?
The world's most intractable case of dandruff.
My retirement plan is for a NATO-backed fascist paramilitary death squad to gun me down for harboring trans people
Go Harriet Tubman and get strapped if you're going to bring the Underground Railroad back in style. 
My last words are going to be "Nice Walther PPK, NEEEEERD."
Retirement? My "retirement plan" is subsistence rat hunting in a bombed out Walmart, what good will money do me? Campfire tinder?
No worries. I'm poor now but I'm going to be a billionaire next week anyway.
Capitalism works!
so... like the rest of us have already found out - they can never retire unless they choose to do so in poverty.

Welcome to America
The rest of the world has the same problem but is not ready for eating rats and feces yet.
: "At least porky wasn't told what to do, better dead than red!"
God dang Porkys butthole. Every time Looney Toons come on, y'all put Porky's Butthole on. I figure last night and the second cartoon come on, it was Porky's friggin' ol' Butthole. I said surely y'all ain't gonna put last till Porky's freakin' Butthole. I don't see why in the heck you think these dang ol' youngins are - cause they gonna Porky's dang ol' Butthole time after time, after time, after that time, and don't ever get tired of it.
Or a crowbar and some comrades
Do you guys want to agree to do some mass suicide cult thing instead of retirement?
Let’s suicide the billionaires first and we’ll go from there
I will agree to it but not follow through. Close enough?
that's too much, where's jack kevorikian?
You could just move to Canada where their wonderful system will cure you of your poverty with a prescription of "Just kill yourself".
i need an eeyore emote
Which one of us is going to be the first to commercialise the suicide booth?
