Here is the top comment on this article: “You are advising responsible honest people who have worked hard, saved all their lives… to scale down their retirement dreams because a one person has decided to destroy the US economy. Why not write an article about how to get rid of the real problem?”

Oh. Wait. You meant...
Never mind.

HIPPITY HOPPITY
The 2008 recession basically ended a media form that had been in use since the invention of the printing press.
I can't "make good choices" my way out of this without a working crystal ball.
Tomorrow is supposed to be the BIGGEST protest with over 1000 cities participating. If there is a city hall close to yours, there should be a protest going on
If you'd ever wondered what you would do during the Holocaust, civil rights movement, slavery.. you're doing it now
Prices keep rising?
He says, “I couldn’t care less.”

I just want to stop. If this is the "great american future"... I want off this planet
Like the rest of us, he was extremely disappointed in the kid from Bethel Park.
Hard to believe not one top advisor or economist in West Wing could've stopped Trump from dragging us into a self-inflicted market crash/stagflation spiral given his 19th-century tariff fantasy.
Good way to stifle markets by inserting artifical price barriers that add zero value.
This is a vast simplification, of course.
Frankly, the commenter just wants performative resistance to comfort them
Wealth war, taxes, termination & tariffs they want to bankrupt the working & middle class the extort our work & assets. Economic terrorism. Their greed will not end. Hands off protest April 5th
Let’s make good trouble, friends. Tomorrow — at one of the thousands of Hands Off rallies — and every day after.
DJT & CO have taken a pair of scissors to our economic nutsack & are cutting it clean off
Prong 1: slash/burn firings, clawbacks, shutdowns & defunding. Prong 2: tariffs, dollar deval/bitcoin resv/sovereign wealth fund & 180 alliance shifts
When they complain to you, you can smile sweetly at them and say, "But this is what you voted for, come on now! You voted for precisely this!" Then you pause and say (this requires a Southern accent), "Bless your heart."
It's almost as IF THE BLACK woman didn't TELL you 😂
Wait until FALL
If the joke isn't funny, it's because the paper's still loyal readership is the punchline.
Retired one year ago. Was planning to enjoy the compounding of my years of frugality. Not any more.
“If you’re still working, putting off your exit date for a while will give you more time to save and shorten the number of years those savings have to last.”
In other words, How to Protect Your Retirement Savings…don’t retire.
What the article MEANT was: regulate businesses and elect Dems. Or something.
Read tea leaves better, old folks.
And we think we’ll have to work at least part time until we die. We could manage the losses in 2008; this time, it’s too close to the bone.
I'll give her this, she fought this, she used to write her reps on an industrial scale.
I thought republicans would destroy retirement much earlier than they did.
The thing that got me was that I DID pay SS taxes, but they were going to give me less than I would get otherwise.
I knew better. Sigh.
Near DC? Join us at the Washington Monument at 12.
But one can't rule over people with an iron fist unless those people are destitute
When old people experience economic hardships: "how dare you ask us to scale back our retirement plans! The government should protect us!"
"work a little longer"
is 2025 for "let them eat cake"
you need to be ashamed of yourselves and make this abuse of hard working folks right
or just seriously f^ck off.
My parents are semi retired and I have so much worry for them.
They choose not to.
It's on them as much as Trump, even though he lit the match.
👉💥💥💥 🟠💩
We need impeachment, plus a vote to remove.
And we need it for most of the people who are next in line for the presidency as well.
But all journeys begin with a first step!
Compare it to the measles outbreak. We can’t stop at advising 💉 b/c herd immunity is already down. Ppl also need good info on symptoms, treatments, & when hospitalization is called for.
NYT.
Give me a break and no thanks.
Fuck Kroger and Albertsons!
I'll show them!
NYT’s approach to journalism is like your domesticated dog watching from the window as robbers make off with your car. Everything is ‘interesting’ or ‘unprecedented’ but seemingly not worthy of action.
Not expecting either to happen.
If this was a Dem prez who did this, Republicans will impeach.
He's golfing in Miami, after destroying the future.
He's a convicted felon.
Pick him up.
He doesn't work for US.
The reason they want to kill Social Security is Wall Street wants to steal that from us too.
same, I'll work until I die...
Screaming and naked
Option 2. Do a lot of things 2 months ago.
Option 3. Now is damage control, it’s too late for 1 or 2.
I’m fighting to keep it.
Don't know how much more we can scale down.
Could have written that headline.
It’s a tough era for satire.
(It would be nice if this NYT link wasn’t behind a paywall. 😕)
