CALIFORNIA LIBERALS DONE SMOKED THEY/THEM SELVES RETARDED.

Ah, California—the land of sunshine, surf, and a self-righteous liberal delusion so thick you’d need a blowtorch to cut through it. Enter Gavin Newsom, the grinning mannequin straight out of a nightmare, blending Norman Bates' creepy vibe with Guy Smiley’s sociopathic charm. This guy could sell ice to an Eskimo, and the Eskimo wouldn’t realize he’d been screwed until the ice melted. But here’s the real kicker: California, the land of weed, free love, and rainbow-tinted social justice, just got bamboozled by its own golden boy.

That’s right, folks—Governor Psycho has proposed a ban on hemp manufacturing. Let that sink in for a second. Weed, the sacred cow of the California liberal identity, is now under threat from the very man you put on a pedestal. All you “progressive” Cali kids, with your gender pronouns and your vaccine selfies, must be feeling like someone just kicked you square in the ideology. But Newsom? He’s playing the long game. And if you’re surprised, well, you’re even dumber than I thought.

Let me break it down for you, my confused and indoctrinated simpletons. It’s not just about banning hemp—it’s about control. It's the same game the British played with opium in Hong Kong. Now that the CCP and Mexican drug cartels have their sticky fingers deep in California’s grow operations, the stage is set for the black market to flourish once again. And guess who benefits? The state’s for-profit prison system, chomping at the bit to lock up a new generation of “recreational” users. Newsom's just greasing the wheels for the next wave of cheap labor—courtesy of all you gullible potheads.

You thought weed was a right, a part of your freewheeling lifestyle? Guess again. It’s just another trap, and Newsom's holding the keys to your cell. So while you're out there getting high on your moral superiority, just know that the state’s waiting to cash in on your inevitable fall. But you won’t see it coming, because you’re too busy sipping overpriced lattes and patting yourselves on the back for being the "wokest" bunch in America.

Liberals—undoubtedly the dumbest creatures on this planet.

What Millennials Get Wrong About Social Security Fox Business ^ | August 29, 2019 | Liz Weston

Few issues unite millennials like the future of Social Security. Overwhelmingly, they’re convinced it doesn’t have one.

A recent Transamerica survey found that 80 percent of millennials, defined in the survey as people born between 1979 and 2000, worry that Social Security won’t be around when they need it. That’s not surprising — for years, they’ve heard that Social Security is about to “run out of money.”

The language doesn’t match the reality. Social Security benefits come from two sources: taxes collected from current workers’ paychecks and a trust fund of specially issued U.S. Treasury securities. This trust fund is scheduled to be depleted in 2034, but the system will still collect hundreds of billions in payroll taxes and send out hundreds of billions in benefit checks. If Congress doesn’t intervene, the system can still pay 77 percent of projected benefits.

In any case, chances are good Congress will intervene, as it did in 1977 and 1983, to strengthen Social Security’s finances. Social Security is an enormously popular program with bipartisan support and influential lobbies, including the immensely powerful AARP, looking out for it.

Still, millennials who believe Social Security won’t be there for them could make bad choices about their retirement Opens a New Window.savings. The worst outcome would be if they didn’t save at all, convinced retirement was hopeless. But any of the following myths could cause problems.

‘I can save enough to retire even without Social Security’

Good luck with that.

Currently, the average Social Security benefit is just under $1,500 a month. You would need to save $400,000 to generate a similar amount. (That’s assuming you use the financial planners’ “4 percent rule,” which recommends taking no more than 4 percent of the portfolio in the first year of retirement and adjusting it for inflation after

I just saw the Austin, TX loony liberals, aka millennials, have to have an app to remind them to take the garbage to the curb. If they can’t think ahead a week for garbage pick up, they certainly can’t think ahead to retirement.

Just so we get that straight. The “rich” have already paid in more to both programs by a long shot and will already get less out after taxes and medicare premiums than anybody else. I know the urge to eat the “rich” is overwhelming to most.”

Business owners and individual contractors pay double SS and medicare $’s/taxes.

I took early retirement at 56 years old. I didn’t work for a year. Then, I consulted as an independent contractor. I made great gross pay and no way to shelter it except via and IRA.

Our CPA told us that I needed to deposit every other pay check into an escrow account to pay for my quarterly US/Cali pay roll taxes and my doubled SS and Medicare taxes as an independent contractor.

When I turned 62, she told me to quit work and work on our 401k’s and IRA’s and take SS. 19 years later, I’m still drawing SS and still alive.

My wife worked until she was 70 something and past the SS penalty age. She made all types of deals re not having medical insurance as my policy covered her. Also, she was able to pay more into her 401 K and SS.

Both of us started paying into the SS program when we were teenagers. She paid SS for about 60 years and medicare whenever it became a taxable item. I maxed out on my SS payments every year after I was 20.

We are not by ourselves.

Saving 14.5% a year is hard but doable - just don’t have any kids.

No one is making 10% on savings.

Computer programming fields. Lots of 22 year old making $100+k.

Lots of people also saving over 14.5% when it is pre-tax 401k. I know people putting away 46%, the limit.

What job in logistics pays $100k? Not doubting you, I’m just not familiar.

37 posted on 8/31/2019, 10:54:09 AM by CodeToad ( Hating on Trump is hating on me and Americans!) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ To: a fool in paradise "There are even Leftists saying that 401k plans should be grouped together and shared." That, would be the beginning of a second overt civil war. However, if they want to play that game, then let's go after all their sacred cows:

Take away ALL government/public pensions and share that money with the general population - particularly with all people who have no pension.

Take away ALL university endowments, and share that money with the population and to pay off all student loans.

Levy a 60% tax on ALL 'entertainment' profits - including a 60% tax on all money paid out to 'entertainers' after the first $800,000. This money will then go into a general fund to share with all 'aspiring artists' - to 'promote the arts'. Surely all those in the 'arts' who keep talking about how important supporting the arts is will be happy to be taxed heavily for this.

Levy a similar tax on all 'sports' profits, using the money to promote youth sports and women's sports etc. This would include a 60% tax on all athletes salaries over $1 million/year. I'm sure those who are taking a knee in the NFL, for example, would be very supportive of taking their salaries for the greater good.

Declare that in order to ensure all people receive equal 'justice', all deserve equal quality legal representation. Thus call for 'single payer' national legal insurance, and make it such that everyone gets an attorney chosen for you (sorry, if you can't keep your doctor, you can't keep your lawyer). In order to 'make it fair', we will have to also do away with all 'private' legal services. ALL attorneys would thus work for the 'single payer' legal system.

Declare that 'being informed', and having access to 'news' is a basic human right, and that to ensure we have enough independent people collecting the news, and to promote a diversity of news sources, all news 'anchors' should have their salaries taxed at 70% after the first $800,000/yr. Also, to ensure that the news is truthful, laws should be passed that make it easier to sue news agencies and their individual employees if they pass along unverified or false 'information'. The 'single payer' legal insurance will help with this.

This is just for starters, because hypocrisy is almost unlimited on the left.

But I recently had to try and hire a GOOD logistics person that was a NCG. They were all sucked up by the big internet companies with packages that totaled around 100k. My area is hot for this skill so that maybe a driving factor. The ones from the local universities were recruited as college Juniors and awarded scholarships etc. Crazy stuff.
