And when retirement and savings funds are burnt up, oh that’s just too bad for all you poor people who didn’t save for a rainy day.

Time for plumbers to rise up!

      Never literally means “at no time” so it includes the past, present, and future. Maybe if they said never again or never henceforth then that would be like from this day forward.

          I’m just following their words as they are written and as they are typically defined. If we want to talk about logical fallacies and structuring ones argument logically it’s usually quite difficult to defend the always, never, forever, aka universal statements. It’s much easier to argue the singular, there is a case such that X is Y. Then you only have one case to prove and not possibly infinite.
