Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Literally the entire point the entire conversation of "trump accounts" is they were started at birth...
She is not contributing regularly to it before she is 14, her parents are
Rather than invest in your own retirement (because you know it won't happen) they want parents to start in eatment accounts for their children at birth and save for their retirement.
How the fuck can people both not remember this from previous news and not be able to figure it out from the context? One or the other should work for anyone, hell everyone should be able to do both, this is not difficult.
I keep hearing about the literacy crisis, is this that?
Quick edit:
Like, not just that you misunderstood it, but that presumably at least 5 other people did...
I legitimately thought just quoting the context would make it obvious, but seemingly no one got it because I didn't explicitly type it out ..
It's just fucking depressing man
I think, and I’m not the op so this is conjecture, the point is/was that (most) parents are already broke, and most adults are as well. Someone else did the math and at a 10% yearly compounding it would still take $300/mo or more to hit that hypothetical $170k.
With everything else spiking in cost, broke people aren’t going to magically have $300 extra for their kids’ “trump accounts” to hit these targets.
Friend, I think part of the attitude of response you got was the tone you gave out.
Yeah, this is where I’d put the “first time?” meme. Sorry dude.
How the actual fuck do you think I'm the one that needs anything explained?
Every single comment you've been wrong...
I'm sorry, I can't deal with this shit, like I said, it's too frustrating and waaaaay too depressing.
I hope someone with more patience helps, if not, Reading Rainbow is still effective, and that way personality won't negatively effect how long a helper hangs out with you.
