Is she stepping back to run for a different office? Did the death threats get to her? Did she make enough money and contacts she doesn't need to do this shit anymore? Only time will tell since you can't trust them to be honest!

In reality, most people dont stop once they reach "retirement money."

People have retirement money?

[–] iopq@lemmy.world 3 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

People say that, but I moved to China immediately when I had retirement money and haven't worked since

I know it does happen some but it seems rare. Also anecdotal but most of the people I know who had it made like that had gotten their money as salespeople and/or at a tech startup and just kept on chasing that rabbit. Likely just a different cross-section of people who are more ambitious (or greedy.)

I'd love to see an actual study of it, especially comparing vocations.

I plan to stop as soon as o have retirement money. I’ll be close to 90 then but I’ll stop

She made her money, that's all. The rest is just theatre.
