96 year old man who tries not to drive gets dragged into court on a school zone violation only to have his case dismissed. that’s what america is all about
Jesus Christ these people. My man lived more than a tortoise and they are still bugging him. It Is insane that you should be forced to do anything After you worked your share for all your Life. But then again, i don't even think there Is pension in usa, i think It Is privatized
I assume you’re from Europe with your use of the word “pension”.
The US DOES have roughly equivalent government programs. MedicAid pays for health care of poor and indigent families. MediCare pays for health care for anyone over the age of 65 or anyone of any age that is physically or mentally disabled or has certain lifelong health conditions. Social Security pays money monthly to retirees and you can start collecting Social Security payments between the ages of 62 and 70.
When you use “pension” in the US it generally refers to private companies (or government employees) collecting retirement benefits from those companies, not a government subsidy. Most private companies no longer have a pension program, it is replaced with 401k programs where the employer usually pays some matching money into a retirement fund that the employee can also put money into.
The US does not have automatic government cradle-to-grave benefits so you hear many people absolutely trashing the system, especially online, and it sounds like we kick anyone that’s poor into the street, but that’s simply not true.
