A meme is an idea, behavior, or style that spreads by means of imitation from person to person within a culture and often carries symbolic meaning representing a particular phenomenon or theme.
An Internet meme or meme, is a cultural item that is spread via the Internet, often through social media platforms. The name is by the concept of memes proposed by Richard Dawkins in 1972. Internet memes can take various forms, such as images, videos, GIFs, and various other viral sensations.

That more young people are needed to contribute tax money to the retirement fund is a hoax anyways. Governments could choose to fund retirement funds through any number of ways. A wealth tax for example.
But that would hurt the feelings of the trillionairesđą
One of the contributors to the wealth redistribution was the move away from company pensions to âjust invest in the stock marketâ 401k and the like. Pension obligations disappear and stock value goes up.
I have to buy shares. They are given shares. And even if youâre getting shares as part of your compensation, itâs a fraction of what management gets.
It also causes people to invest in inherently evil products they wouldn't otherwise. Pension to 401k is strong arm (metaphorically speaking, obvs) robbery.
I'd slightly disagree with the first point only because pension funds were invested the same way a personal 401k is. Either way your retirement money goes to inherently evil products
It still would rely on young people. Resources should be produced, they can't just appear.
Technically yes, someone has to produce resources, but thanks to modern technology. Each individual can produce huge excess of resources.
Just way too many times this production capacity is turned towards producing crap we don't need that breaks down after few uses.
Amen
Resources are hoarded for centuries.
Brb hoarding food to eat 40 years from now
Money is hoarded. Hoarding resources is a bad idea overall, as storage prices accumulate over time.
And money can't buy anything if it doesn't exist in the first place.
They still should be produced consistently and constantly.
I would posit it depends on the resources. Clean air, water, and soil. Renewable energy. Heritage seeds. Comprehensive, fully funded, world class education. Comprehensive, fully funded health. Cleaner engineering and building. Infrastructure. Fully funded, safe and livable housing.
Wealth otoh should not be hoarded, and should be seen as the things I listed above, and more. Apologies, I'm a bit in a hurry and still waking up.
