That’s making quite a mental leap. What’s wrong is changing the rules halfway during a voting day, specially in one of the largest countries in the world with uneven logistics.
Polls were closed in some places, voting boxes sealed, and had to be reopened.
While not necessarily bad, it can create fraud suspicions. Just arrange a longer voting time from the get go. Else it looks you are stalling and boosting turnout out for your side.
PS it’s quite common in some countries to put people on buses and make them vote in exchange of money.
I am a Gen X. My grandmother, who was born in 1906 and passed on in 1994, worked at home, cooked, cleaned for most of her life. He had 3-4 dresses in her closet, and whenever I visited she gave some money to go buy a small bottle of Sprite for lunch.
My parents define their retirement as cruises, traveling, etc. My mother has 3 closets full of clothes, the latest iPhone and iPad to check Facebook…
Both generations worked very hard, and I don’t want to criticize them. I keep telling my father and mother that they should burn and enjoy all their money while they can.
My point is not to criticize a generation, but to try to contextualize that a comfortable wealthy retirement is relatively new in our social concept, and so far it seems more as a one-off trick that only baby boomers pulled after the huge economic growth post 70s, than a sustainable economic pattern.
Young people have to get out of that mentality you have to start saving and living within your means early when you’re young you have time it’s amazing if you put a little bit away every month and stay at it how much it adds up over time but that will never happen if you never make the commitment to do it, and most people do not they always put it off until tomorrow and then one day they look up and they’re 59 years old.
One thing young people in the west (most of the world stays home until they are married) can do is stay home pay your parents some rent save the balance that you would be paying. If you were living away from home don’t leave until you get married but during that time you have to save of course this assumes that you have good parents and a good home life, when you have youth on your side, and you have a good job, the possibilities of are endless when you are young if you have the discipline to save and invest.
Between breakfast, 1-hour lunch, 15-min ice cream break, 30-mins chill, 30-mins foosball games I think she worked 4 hours max.
At that point she caught some flak since it was timed with the layoffs. And I get that is not necessarily representative of the MS culture…
… but talk about timing and poor choices!
