The USA was meant to have Afros work outside jobs which is why the original tobacco and plantation system as whites get a red neck and need to be in the shade.

If you can post a link for a petrol job in Texas for $20,000 per month I will apply for it ASAP.

You have been sold a bill of goods by the USA propaganda machine. I can assure you most definitely that the basic workers make nowhere near $20,000 USD per month!

In fact the minimum wage in Texas is $8.50 per hour!

In Texas, seem basic workers make 20000 USD monthly in petrol business, seem not bad without high education level, more than double income than median in Zurich city. I m happy with my job in France. When retirement is at 67 in Germany, no problem for me to go til 70 . In France, some have house for week end, in Russia they have datchas, I have FKK land for my week ends when I don t ski or bicycle climb.

Half the American workforce earns less that $15 per hour. Whereas to afford an apartment on needs to earn $28 per hour. And to afford a house in the USA one needs to earn $50 per hour at least. Most people live in slums in the USA and no work because they are trying to avoid being shot by gang members and government opression.

Just come to the USA where people can retire at any age and be homeless.

Hi, fellow mongers,

I don't have much experience of FKK activity, only been to two clubs in Hamburg. Planning another trip to Germany but don't want to visit the huge mainstream FKKs like Artemis and Sharks. I 'd like to visit a smaller club which still has good service and classy women. Which one would you guys suggest? Appreciate your help.

Classy are very rare in FKK land. I advice You Sixens NL close to Aachen with HH for entry. Good foods and SPA. Some good girls like 1,80 model Lea. De coming from escorting, cute GFE Ramona.

Due to my studies and army, I started to work on full time job at 25 and should have to work for 44 years to get full retirement, but no problem for me when I love my job which is easy for my potential and I prefer to get my job income than retirement. On my retiring age, I will just ask to get 10 weeks for my holidays versus 5 now, for my beloved sports. I m happy to live and work in France.

In the US we can still draw on Social Security as soon as age 62 and get a reduced payment. If they were to change that to 64 then that would piss me off too! I would want my financial freedom sooner rather than later, and every year and dollar counts towards that!

Americans (except for the poorest) have other sources of retirement income aside from the first pillar (Social Security). Low and middle income earners in France depend on the first pillar to a much larger extent.

Mandatory employee and employer pension contributions are much higher in France, so French save very little on their own. Only Italy and Czech Rep contribute more: https://www.oecd-ilibrary.org/sites/...nt/d164cfc6-en.

In France, the total savings held in retirement plans is equal to 12 percent of gross domestic product. In the U.S., by contrast, pension plan assets are worth 150 percent of GDP, over 12 times greater.

France is the most indebted nation in Europe: https://www.cmegroup.com/insights/ec...bt-crisis.html.

France has the third highest debts in the world, a huge structural deficit and an ageing population that refuses to work for longer. When Macron backs down on pensions as he inevitably will investors will realise that the country's social model is unsustainable and they aren't going to get their money back. And the fallout from that will get very ugly.

If somebody needs to travel thru France (and has other options) I would advise against it. There was a strike on January 19 (one protester lost a testicle) and another one today.

It seems most of the world does not have much sympathy for the plight of the French workers, and feel Macron's raising of the statutory retirement age from 62 to 64 is perfectly reasonable. Anyway the battle could draw out for months.

People need to start wearing cups to protests these days.

I thought that in France you get more vacation days. I got 5 weeks when I started, soon I get 6 weeks of vacation per year, but my employer gives more than the legal minimum. As well, I get another 3 months paid sabbatical soon, but that's another story.

Good for you that you enjoy your work. As for me, while I don't hate my work, I work to live, I don't live to work. Personally I enjoy my hobbies and time spent with friends and family more than work, so I am looking forward to retirement. I am happy that 28 years of work in Switzerland and some half decent investments will be more than enough to finance my retirement without cuts in my standard of living. Half of the people in Switzerland retire early because they can afford it.

Back to the original subject, if people really depend on their first pension pillar, then retirement sucks for them.

At the moment, need to work for 43 years or to retire at 67 yo for full retirement. But when more and more numerous old living older and older, I should have to work for 44 years, but no problem when I prefer to work as long I will be able, just needing free time for my sports and to prepare a interesting car like I just did. Despite biggest tax, but our life is so much better than in China or Russia or Romania, or Ukraine unfortunately for them. But more and more people just become too lazy, they want more and more money but don t want to work, when since I work, I always heard: how much money You make for us and how much You cost us, maybe why they pay my S5 versus my results.
