If you're not sure, you could go another 5 to fortify your retirement. I obviously don't know how your specific pension is structured, but with early retirees who got their via investing in index funds (e.g. in a 401K) even pushing retirement back a few years can make a really big difference in the numbers.

This might be U.S.-defaultism here, but I'd be surprised if it is different in Australia:

Unless they're going to ban minors from watching live sports on TV/streaming, not sure this will even have the intended effect. I have to buffer and fast-forward through breaks to avoid a full-on assault from gambling ads.

Lol, and BangCrash went out of their way to be offended by my comment in this post.

BTW, I'm not attacking you and don't really care. I just feel that I was unfairly singled out.

You don't foresee governments being capable of engaging in coercive, if not outright totalitarian measures?

As a simple hypothetical example: consider the effect of banning (or otherwise significantly restricting) contraceptives.

No depths too low for some people

You seem to be the only one using such a stretched interpretation. You went out of your way to interpret something in the worst manner possible. And now you're just fixated on your own misinterpretation and using it to pick a fight. That's the huge red flag you're talking about.

I don't see anyone jumping in here to support you. At least Yawweee seems to get it.

There's probably a German word for it. They have words for all sorts of specific concepts.

Swing. And a miss

The only person trying to make it about me is...you.

Quit trying to make it happen, and stop with the fucking gaslighing.

Yes, there is real concern that measures to prop up birth rates might become coercive. That people may feel pressured to reproduce whether they want to or not.

I don't live in China, so this isn't about me.

Did you hurt yourself making that stretch?
