Let's hope those pensions are not underfunded like we see with so many state pensions, the desperation of many of these funds to maintain the 7% return to be able to pay out also pushes them to have to invest in riskier assets so having no control over it, also has me feeling uneasy about whatever those paper returns are that they send you each quarter.

I see no problem in that, exchanging your time and labour for a bit of crypto, I think it's smart and the fact you don't have to depend on it and can just HODL and see what happens. I'm already so far down the rabbit hole I buy BTC every day lol, only $6 though but I've committed to that every day regardless of the price, it's more of a let's see how it ends up after a year kind of experiment.

Oh, there's going to be plenty of deflationary pressures automation, job loss, working from home, salary cuts, demand changes and cost-cutting measures so who knows what that's all going to do, it still needs to all play out, most people are still focusing on just getting over this virus stuff to care about that.

Holy crap, that must make things even more expensive to live there, lol I wouldn't be able to deal with that, seeing so much of my salary taken way from me, i'd cry every time I get my paycheque because crying is still free right? lol tear tax yet?
