Anthropic, which officially filed to go public at a rumored valuation of up to $2 trillion dollars just a week before the elections.

As Bloomberg reports, those prospects are in free fall as the chaos takes hold. Some investors are now weighing bids that would value Anthropic as low as $1.1 trillion. While that’s still a huge valuation for a company that lost over $80 billion in the first half of 2026 alone, it’s a massive drop compared to the previously unbridled enthusiasm surrounding the firm’s IPO.

don't think you fully understand how retirement savings work...

Or I live in a different country with different pensions. Here the government pays for it from general taxation and its pretty generous.

Honestly could argue its too much, if you have used your working years to buy a house you are probably going to be better off than a minimum wage worker. Calculated it based on my mortgage rate, minimum wage and pension a couple of years ago anyway.

Are you positive that all annual payouts are funded by that year's taxes, and it's not a fund invested to grow while the money sits in it?

Not saying it's impossible, but it's not very common. And is even more susceptible to baby boomer effects than the US fund.

I mean "that year's taxes" is dubious given state borrowing in many countries. But the government pay for it.

Private pensions might get fucked, but they still get the state pension. So... Oh no, you might not be quite as better off as you hoped? Hard to care too much.
