Good morning, class! Today's lesson is an example of what Ms. Rogers has been trying to pound into heads over the last several years about capital successfully diverting its evils into generational warfare. BlackRock CEO believes boomers should retire later than 65 quote:BlackRock (BLK) CEO Larry Fink has some strict criticism for the generation born in the 1950s, often known as baby boomers, or boomers for short. The executive, who is a boomer himself, claimed in a new letter to BlackRock investors that the older generation hasn’t been doing enough to help the “economically anxious” younger generations and should retire at an age later than 65. Study questions: * What ulterior motives might the author have in convincing young people to blame a random generational cohort for its ills? * Is he correct that the current retirement age to qualify for social security is 65? * What might the possible reasons be for 40 percent of boomers to have lived in their homes for 20 years? How does that compare to trends in the past? * How sound is his advice that older people should be "making investments" in order to secure younger generations' finances? What factors is he not taking into account about older people's finances? * He states that current social security funding is being starved by people not having the grace to die before receiving benefits; how do these beliefs tie into social trends as well as racial & economic trends over time? Bonus question: * How much does this man of the people earn himself? What percentage of it goes toward SS/Medicare pay-ins (current cap for pay-ins is $160k). BlackRock Boosts Fink’s Pay 21% to $36 Million BlackRock Inc. raised Chief Executive Officer Larry Fink’s total pay to $36 million for 2021, a 21% increase over the previous year. Fink, 69, received a $1.5 million base salary, $11.3 million bonus, $18.4 million of long-term incentive awards and deferred equity of $4.9 million, the New York-based money-manager said Thursday in its annual proxy filing.

quote:"No one should have to work longer than they want to," said Fink in the letter. "But I do think it’s a bit crazy that our anchor idea for the right retirement age — 65 years old — originates from the time of the Ottoman Empire." lol wtf

social security retirement age is 67 for non boomers social security could easily be fixed by removing the cap on the wage tax or you know just funding it generally anyone who does anything remotely physical for work is wrecked by their 50s and can barely move in their 60s. fink wouldn’t know this

1953 and beyond had tiers creeping toward age 67; I think mine was 66 yrs & 3 mos. or something. But I was a poor who had to start taking it at age 62, and who was penalized for getting back on my feet a few years later & earning "too much": quote:If you're younger than full retirement age we must deduct $1 from your benefits for each $2 you earn above $22,320. I had to pay back $3k that year. I'm sure Mr. Fink would approve that I should be penalized for earning that much more as a poor. Willa Rogers has issued a correction as of 17:04 on Mar 27, 2024 |

They need boomers to keep working because when they all left the workforce in the covid years all of a sudden there were openings for better employment to the rest of the workforce which then impacted pretty much everything else as the super poo poo jobs and 2nd goal gig crap withered.

The deal we made with capitalist ghouls was you worked your whole life and put up with all the bullshit so you could have maybe 15-20 years at the end of your life for yourself. What are people working for now? What incentive does Fink propose to....oh I don't know....stop these people from killing themselves en masse?

If they're considered unproductive...say via retirement and not spending because you have to be extremely frugal to survive then the suicide is a net win.

The data PROVES that the suicide rate in the U.S. is nonexistent and has no correlation to the economy! Where is that data? It's on the chart that's right over there, just out of frame, DON'T YOU DARE QUESTION ME YOU SABOTEURS!!!

Lost revenues from individuals who experienced suicide will be guarenteed, allowing impacted companies to recover these earnings from the estate or next of kin.

Capitalism no longer needs workers to provide productive labor. It's much easier and more profitable to move numbers around on a spreadsheet. Any American who is actually working is chaff.
