      Even in countries that aren’t so dystopian yet that people are retiring at an older age than that, it’ll sure be the case by the time us millennials and zoomers retire

      Yup.

      Mom just retired at 70. On her feet working for society for 50 years. Now she hobbles around home with the help of a walker. She’ll spend the last 5-10 years of her life hanging out at home, with her only trips being to the doctor’s office.

      Because this is all a scam to burn the lives of average people so the wealthy can live better than any kings from antiquity ever did.

      And our fates will be the same, or worse, if we don’t eat these motherfuckers.

        This might be an unpopular opinion, but I don’t want to live that long. Whenever the time feels right, I want to “retire” with whatever savings I might have, and ride it out until going out on my own terms. When that time feels right, I don’t know, but it’ll come.

      67 for most now until they increase it again or worse, and dangling the extras if you stay until 70.

      Many won’t be able to go to places like this at that point, neither physically or financially, and it might even be gone due to climate. I can think of many fixes to this system, but none work because they would go against the way things work, and the machine must keep rolling.
