I propose that we change society to be fairer rather than have people suggest living on half your income is a viable retirement plan.

Failing that, 5.56mm rounds and canned goods.

> change society to be fairer

I hope by this you mean "Rewards come from hard work and delayed gratification" rather than "take from the rich, give to the poor".
