EVERY SO OFTEN SOME DIMWIT ASSHOLE WRITES ABOUT :
"WORKING UNTIL YOU ARE 80"...
BUT THAT IS NOT THE POINT...
CONSIDER:
WE DON'T PENSION OFF PEOPLE BECAUSE THEY ARE "TOO OLD"...
WE PENSION THEM OFF TO MAKE ROOM FOR YOUNGER WORKERS...WHO NEED THE MONEY MORE THAN OLDER WORKERS...!
THAT WAS THE WHOLE IDEA BEHIND PENSIONS...BACK WHEN BISMARK IN GERMANY INVENTED THE MODERN DAY PENSION SYSTEM...
PEOPLE CAN WORK UNTIL THEY CAN'T WORK...OR UNTIL ITS DEEMED THAT THEY SHOULD LEAVE THE WORKFORCE FOR OTHER REASONS...
SO THE AGE IS NOT RELEVANT...18 OR 80...YOU CAN WORK IF YOU WANT TO WORK...NO ONE IS STOPPING YOU...
BUT THE PLAN WAS TO "EASE" THE OLDER WORKERS OUT OF THE LABOR MARKET... TO ALLOW YOUNGER PEOPLE TO MOVE UP...
SO...WHATS THE POINT...?
ONCE YOU RAISE THE RETIREMENT AGE... THE ELDERLY WILL CONTINUE DOING THEIR JOBS...
AND THE YOUNG WILL SUFFER MOST...!
SO...YOU SEE...PENSIONS AND RETIREMENT ARE REALLY FOR THE YOUNG...!
AS WE WILL QUICKLY DISCOVER... IF THE RETIREMENT AGE IS RAISED...!
