I can see what you are saying. I guess I am an exception and it probably also depends on the career field or industry. I have had two employers, other than odd short term jobs in highschool. The Navy was my first employer (24 years) and my current company (a major aerospace company and defense contractor) was the second (now at 20 years). I will likely retire or move to part time in the next two years. I do see many younger people cross to other competitors for bumps in pay, but there is a down side to that as well. At my company, if we see a candidate who has a resume with several companies over a few years, it’s frowned upon as we don’t want to spend time and money to train people and watch them walk out the door with those skills.

Life is a risk from beginning to end. There are not and never were any guarantees to retirement. Blaming companies for lack of sustainable pension plans is silly. At least most companies were honest about the funding of those plans and were honest in reporting when those plans were no longer an option for new employees. I’m still waiting for that honesty from govt about social security.
You are correct that each individual should take responsibility early on in their career to make sure they can achieve the retirement they desire, be that through 401ks, real estate investments, savings, or otherwise. Anyone doing so can retire a millionaire, but even that’s no guarantee as the whole world can change tomorrow.
This used to be a major annoyance for me then a family member showed me a trick. Create a contact called SPAM and add all the incoming spam calls to that contact. Set that contact to reject or ignore all calls. After a week or so your SPAM contact may have hundreds of numbers but they stop showing up as texts.

It’s brilliant. Trump takes on anyone. Biden hides or makes rediculous debate demands. How does it look when there is a debate stage and Biden won’t even show up? I also think Trump doesn’t have to go on the attack with 1% Kennnedy. If musks moderators are fair, Trump and Kennedy pull votes from Biden.
