They mismanaged having the working class make enough to fund this program properly. But stagnant wages have meant the income to outgoing ratio has dipped to the point where the workers to retirees ratio is endangering the whole program. All while maintaining a cap on how much you need to contribute per year

Aliens, Mech suits and remotely controlled vat-grown body doubles aren't enough to make it sci Fi?
Tbf, the air on Pandora is toxic to humans. That was the entire point of using the avatars in the first movie... Wouldn't exactly call that suitable for sustaining the life of our species
And that material they found in the planet was some fictional things humans had never encountered before.
That was not a subtle theme...
Not really the opposite. We used to subsidize higher education. The non expungable debt was part of the "fix" for that issue that Reagan caused
Because Reagan defunded public secondary education. And then instead of fixing that in the late 90s/early 00s, they made school loans non expungable and federally guaranteed, so schools didn't need to keep their process know and competitive anymore.
It always goes back to Reagan...
Yes, but this has to be done in a more local level. Trying to force a new party into existence starting at the federal level is not planning for success
No it's not. They don't fill the same story niche. And you're human too, regardless of what your calls for calls for attention say.
How could this be?!
You mean even after Congress slapped a [$35] band-aid on the problem...checks notes...16 years ago, and have only picked away at it since then, they still want more?
I have a problem with dragons. They're overused to the point of being boring
Our election system mathematically guarantees there will be only two useful choices. Any attempt to swap one of those out requires years of transition in which you are actively helping the side who agrees with you even less to win and move you further away from what you want.
Until we have more ubiquitous ranked-choice-esque systems, that will not change.

Are old retirees rich, then? I wouldn't consider that accurate.
If you're not pulling in upper 6 figures from those investments, you're still not rich.
