401k isn’t really a strong point it may have once been. I doubt anyone under 30 today expects to ever see it pay out anywhere near as much as it would need to to keep pace with inflation. Hell i expect retirement age to be higher than most people in my family live to.
Ask anyone with a 401k and they balk. They dream themselves as “part of the club.”
Maybe if the markets crash over the AI bubble they would be motivated, but my perception of American comradery is extremely dim at this point.
If anyone has suggestions of how to change those hearts and minds, lmk, I am genuinely interested.

Isn’t the point of a 401k that if you get fired for striking you can keep your retirement?
It’s not like a pension where you lose it if you’re not at the company for X years
I’m saying people who have 401ks have responded to my discussions around a general strike with disdain, wether they know this or not.
I realize I’m one person but I have a 401k and I’m not balking at the idea.
Yeah same, I’d back a general strike. Whether I have a 401k doesn’t even enter into the picture.
