Lmao op has never heard of a “service”. Services cost money… it’s like 3rd grade level knowledge. A Ponzi scheme would be like trump crypto pumping money from shady places and then pulling the rug for the payout. I don’t expect op to understand anything tho
What do you think a Ponzi scheme is? I’m super curious now.
What do you think a Ponzi scheme is?
yeahhhhhhhh that’s the type of response I expected
That’s what I expected from you too. This claim is not based in observations of the real world, so you can’t explain it
Sure buddy
This is what I get for trying to talk about politics on Lemmy comment sections (again!), I really need to stop feeding the trolls man
This is a serious question: How do you think Social Security is a Ponzi scheme?
Primary characteristics of a Ponzi scheme are that they are a system in which people place their money, and as more people place their money into the system, the value of that investment is supposed to provide a reasonable return. So long as more people are entering the system than leaving by cashing out, all is well, but once you have fewer people enrolling into the system, it will start to collapse (like Social Security seems to be in danger of doing). The major difference between Social Security and most Ponzi schemes is that I don’t think it promises massive returns on investment like most Ponzi schemes do, but it otherwise functions pretty similarly.
The Tesla stock is a Ponzi scheme.
It’s no more a Ponzi scheme than any other stock. He’s right though.
No he’s not wtf. A ponzi scheme ultimately only benefits the very few/individual at the top. That’s not what social security does.
That dude wearing clothes like my fresh level 3 orc was in World of Warcraft until it arrived in Orgrimmar back in 2004 looking like a fool. Just wear whatever drops.
When he’s got those stupid glasses on I get hangover vibes
You should drink more water
Supporting your country isn’t a ponzi scheme.
lol
Maybe we shouldn’t have elected this fascist as president then.
He knows he’s lying, he wants to gut our benefits to get a payout.
Fuck him and anyone who put the prince regent in office.
For once… hes right. Now how do you plan to fix it? Tax the billionaires and setup a UBI?.. increase the min wage?.. what do you mean you want grandma to be left to die in the gutter??
There are no major calls on the left or right for elderly people who are in Social Security to lose their benefits TBF
And we know that because you just made it up and we should believe you despite evidence to the contrary. You’re not a serious person
Where are the calls to kick elderly people off of Social Security then? Can you think of any off the top of your head?
Aren’t they firing most people at the SSA? Who needs calls when they’re already doing things to make it harder to get SS?
“doing things to make it harder to get SS” is not the same as trying to kick the elderly off of the plan, which is something the GOP has repeatedly opposed
How about you summarize the article for me and repeat that statement.
