“So now we know: Even a million dollars isn’t enough to retire on. Sounds reasonable, given all the obstacles to retirement in the West and especially in the US. But there is a problem with this article that is much bigger than the retirement issues it explores. The problem is – and we can see from the article’s feedback – that the readership is a good deal more sophisticated than the article itself. As we’ve often pointed out, when people cease to believe in the narrative provided to them by their own elites, then inevitably society begins to change in fundamental ways. As we can see, this article glosses over the REASONS for increasing retirement problems.”
