Yes, but most people don't go beyond the matched % for their 401(k) and they also don't expect to have to live a more austere life in retirement than before. Obviously the point of retirement planning is to be ready for it when you want to retire, but not everyone plans that carefully and I don't want folks to think it's as simple as ' job+401(k) = retire by 60 '

I want my family and friends who have drug problems to get medical help and social support not to get arrested, traumatized, and set back even further back in life by jail.

You are confusing prison with rehabilitation. It's not even close to the same.

The kid was, by the police's own admission, totally fucking fine and being taken care of and there were other adults in the house.

Peaceful protests don't work period. The establishment will never change unless forced to, it's not just a Russia/China/Iranian thing. It's the same in France, in the UK, and in America. Our peaceful protests have never gone anywhere without the backing of people performing direct action.

Show me any example of someone who has transitioned to do that.

Rapists do not need to identify as women to walk into a women's restroom. They can just do it regardless. Trans people are not the enemy and you need to stop reading and spreading hateful lies.
