They’re paying us $864 a year to survive retirement while our peers across the world shell out $2776 per person to keep their seniors dignified, and yet we’re supposed to be grateful? Sixty-nine percent below what even our comparable countries manage, and they have the nerve to say we’re spending too much—we’re barely spending at all! We’re not asking for a golden handshake, we’re asking for $2600 so we’re not forced to choose between medicine and meals when we’ve put in our decades.
