I think arts funding should be infinite and easily available to everyone. I think 13 year olds who only draw anime should receive funding to buy giant sets of copic markers and shitty local punk bands should receive funding for instruments and practice spaces and performance artists should receive funding for their weird and nonsensical projects
Pensions sound so fake as a zillennial. You work for one place for decades (already sounds fake) and then afterwards you leave and they just. keep paying you. the same amount of money. to do nothing. for the rest of your life. if i wasn’t already aware that this was something that readily and commonly existed during my grandparent’s days then it would sound like some kind of socialist pipe dream
You paid for your pension. They don’t pay you. Like there is a difference, and it’s supposed to be taxes and a pension fund.
You pay into the pension fund over the decades of working at that place and then the money comes back to you after you retire. There’s investment bullshit attached, but it’s your money.
A pension is supposed to be your money already. The company bets on you basically dying before you can collect it all, so they can keep a portion.
