Sharon the state pension is used to top up private pensions. If you didn’t invest in your retirement then it’s your own fault and I have zero sympathy for you.
Why must the rest of society suffer cause pensioners must get 2.5% minimum extra each year?
🚨 UPDATE: The boss of Labour's biggest union donor says scrapping the state pension triple lock would be "electoral suicide"
"We’re the lowest in the G7 in terms of how much we spend on pensions... I cannot understand why we keep going back to pensioners"

I would say marriage has a lot of this. Like yeah, we are going to disappoint and hurt each other. We won’t do it knowingly or on purpose, and we will adjust and try again.

Just an incredible irony that the ‘buy less avocados to afford a house’ generation’s central point when it comes to pensions is ‘I decided not to save any money for 40 years and now the state pension isn’t big enough’

That’s what the government thinks your retirement is worth after a lifetime of working
How are you meant to live on that?

So it follows that my beige baby, with average musculature and some teeth can certainly maim, but not consume the mouse. His whiter bother however, can wound only.
“the superhuman baby of color who hunted and ate a live mouse simply defies white people’s limited understanding” is a very rare discourse I don’t think we’ve ever seen before

Hot take: as well as seeing smart, self-directed patients, doctors also see the ~15% of people who have an IQ below 85, and if clever people feel patronised by repetitive simplistic questions that’s an acceptable price to pay for less clever people getting advice they understand
everyone is dunking on this but this is also just how doctors talk in the uk i show up like "yea i have upper abdominal pain and i haven't had a bowel movement in days" and they're like "oooooh you say your tummy hurts and you haven't had a poo?" gets me every time

I however am a small small person and I am cackling in delight.
To take this stupidly ever-so-slightly serious for two seconds: I cannot remember a moment in my lifetime that the United States of America has ever looked so weak and pathetic as it does today. It is so profoundly dumb and it deserves nothing but pity as a response.
