Trumpled (Alternative Leading)

[Thryleon]

A lot of truth and reality there, 3 Leos.

Up to around the 90s you had in your place of employ a security, as long as you did your job at least adequately, you had a security until retirement or as it was known way back then, the gold watch expectation. Since the 2000s young folk have not really known that security. Employment contracts are now the go. Baby-boomers find themselves at a stage in life where many have a nice nest egg/handsome super. But not all of us, I have a relative -- not Robinson Crusoe -- who lost his small business (and all savings/super) during Covid and now finds himself having to start again... he's into his 7th decade on planet Earth. Many other boomers although passed retirement age are still working, because they have to for a variety of reasons. I am one of those. Retirement for me will likely be falling off the twig.

Point is, and to address your central point, many more folks are doing it harder today for a variety of reasons. Wages have not kept pace with inflation and other cost of living expenses.

As for a revolution? Mm, probably needed, globally, and in some countries it'll happen but Aussies are just not the types. Yep, too easy going. However, there may well be enough immigrants to this country who come from cultures that just don't cop bad leadership and will revolt. I vividly recall my late father (European) saying in the 90s that this country needed a revolution. The US may well be headed in that direction.

Baggers, I get it.  There are people on their older ages too who are doing it tough.

Those people aren't getting elected prime minister and president.


That's a title reserved for the pigs at the trough who have already earned handsomely off the public purse.
