You just described the entire schtick behind the real purpose of socialism- power, and control over the peasants.
"Do what we tell you to do, or else no free gibs for you. Oh, and we order you to pay for the free gibs we will give to all the good boys and girls who obey us."
Yes, the socialists chose the “winners” of the retirement planning services market. The Social Security Administration have cushy jobs and “secure” careers themselves, without a track record of wise investment decisions for clients.
Practicality follows morality. The reason God gave us moral laws is because they have good practical results. It was immoral to commandeer a financial services sector and hand it over to the communists, and now we have the impractical results: Social Security is set to run out in eight years or less. The commie foolishness has even made a negative feedback loop: the impractical current mess of SS has created (at least in the minds of psychopathic commies) a new need for additional immoral action: murdering retirement beneficiaries before they can get much of their money back.
The pop culture attacks on Baby Boomers were more vicious than on previous generations. I piled on too, but for reasons different from the commies’ motivation of not paying retirees back SS. Then the nursing home skullduggery of 2020 made it clear that retirees were being targeted for deliberate infection, abuse, and malpractice. Their unnecessary deaths were then miscategorized and milked to push the “pandemic” hoax, and to trick people to take the shit-vaxx. And whom were the first recommended to take the demon semen? Senior citizens.
Very sad to hear you went through all that. Your father may be less a product of his generation than a product of his Narcissistic Personality Disorder. Pills and booze are a symptom. Narcs also love appeals to authority and the idea of a social hierarchy, upon which they imagine themselves higher than you. So they are sycophantic to acquaintances and even strangers who are perceived as receiving admiration, while narcs are vindictive and cutting to the people closest to them. When young, narcs have the energy to be covert, but when they get past middle aged the mask becomes too heavy and their disorder becomes more obvious to more people. The prognosis is grim because part of the disorder is not admitting to themselves that they are defective, so they see no reason to cure themselves. They’ll be covetous and sabotaging of happier, younger, and kinder people until the narcs are dead. So it’s best just to leave these bitter old dweebs alone. Congrats for doing that.
“they want us as miserable as them.” That’s a defining characteristic of NPD.

Agreed.

Yes, the societal messaging against old people has gone too far and made people too callous and too permissive of elder abuse
I'll take mine back with 7 percent interest for the 35 years.
Social security was supposed to be a way to put your money up as like insurance. I doubt I will ever get back what I paid.
