So the former president is eyeing Australia's superannuation system — you know, that mandatory retirement savings setup they've been running for decades. Makes you wonder: could something like that even fly in the States? Different markets, different politics. Australia forces employers to chip in a percentage for every worker, building nest eggs whether people think about it or not. But here? With how Americans feel about government mandates and personal freedom? That's a whole different beast. Would love to hear takes on whether transplanting that model makes any sense given the cultural and regulatory gaps.

What if that mandatory pension system in Australia were implemented in the US? Uh... Americans freak out as soon as they hear the word "mandatory."

Americans freak out at the mention of mandatory savings—there's no way this would happen.

NGL, Americans freak out when they hear the word "mandatory." The system they use in Australia just wouldn't work here at all.

Bro, don't even think about it. Americans value their freedom so much that mandatory savings just wouldn't work over there.
