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


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.
