They Want You Working Until You Die (Social Security In Danger) Retirement Is Dead - Large Man


Large Man Abroad, Dec. 30, 2025. (12 mins).
- Description: In this video: The reality of the 2.8% Social Security increase vs. actual inflation. Why 'Un-Retiring' isn't a choice - it's survival. Retirement isn't just dying, it's being murdered by a 2.8% Cost of Living Adjustment (COLA). In this video, we break down why the 2025 Social Security increase is a slap in the face to millions of elderly Americans. While real inflation rips through the grocery aisles and housing market, the govt. expects seniors to survive on pennies.

The concept of 'Un-Retirement' is being pushed as a lifestyle choice but we know the truth; it's a necessity. We are witnessing the controlled demolition of the Middle Class, forcing 85-year- olds to compete with 25-year- olds for minimum wage jobs in the gig economy. From the "core CPI" lie to the reality of working until you flatline, we discuss why the American Dream sitting on the porch drinking peach tea is officially over.. More under YouTube Description...

- Comments: People don't realize retirement is a new concept. It only really started thanks to the New Deal from FDR. We got Social Security, pensions, and more social programs...- When are Americans going to stop and learn a lot from us Europeans... - They want us working till we die, yet the moment you turn 50 nobody will hire you. - 50 year mortgages, 80+ for retirement, no universal healthcare, and more national debt. Who wants to stick around. - Depopulation is their main goal.

They want to privatize our SS and our Medicare. It saddens me that they have nixed SS employees and currently closing more offices. I believe public pressure will surely help. Call every republican and leave a message

Ask yourself, HOW LONG HAVE THE MILLIONAIRES and BILLIONAIRES been trying to access Social Security dollars? This is just another way to ensure those dollars will someday make it into THEIR bank accounts.

That is the goal. The 0.01 % plan to inherit and own the Earth. They regard everyone else as unnecessary. Automation and AI will take care of their needs with only a few people kept around for entertainment purposes such as sex slaves, entertainment, etc. They want to turn Earth into Solaria.

There are only a few important things: How do you keep your money away from billionaires. How do you beat inflation. How do you maximize your health so you can avoid the health care system to the greatest extent possible. How do you fix what you leave behind so THEY never get their hands on it.

We are not doing well enough. We should be creating Democratic only businesses that feeds us and not THEM. Mark Cuban is pro-consumer with health care, what are we doing in other areas of consumption?
