No bailouts, don’t care if my 401k is lit on fire

I mean I care. I want to retire some day

I mean to be clear I’ll also be bummed but what choice is there when these fucks think they can just do whatever they want. Have to draw the line eventually even though we’ll all suffer for it. Shit sucks

Either way they walk away with fortunes. It’s pessimistic, but you should look out for you and yours first.

I understand this sentiment but I don’t think we can handle another bailout, i think it would be the final surrender to private equity and would allow them to go mask off in a way that would be even more ruinous than things are already

If your 401k is the only thing you have going for retirement, it’s not going to do you any good anyways the way things are going.

Strongly disagree. I’d rather have my retirement fund and keep using Claude for my work
