    "The study, performed by your corporate overlords, found that not giving every moment of your life to them in a show of fealty to their wealth and power could lead to...bad stuff, or something."

    Companies don't want experienced employees to retire because replacements that aren't Woke are difficult to find.

    I think it depends a lot on how you spend your retirement. If you just lounge around and drink coffee in front of the TV all day I can see a person's mind literally wasting away.

    Woke, or just not willing to get bamboozled?

    I see both sides of the argument. Even if young people have good points, the older generation is going to see them as lazy for refusing to go through what they did.

    So many retirees pass, within years of their retirement. It’s a scary thought. Then, we got The Man wanting us to work to our deaths, so they don’t have to pay out of what we paid into. No winning.

    You should see how we get f###ed over here in Canada. Its mandatory that almost every working adult has to pay into the Canada Pension Plan.

    In a fair and just country the money you paid into the system would be paid out to your estate if you passed before retirement. Doesn't happen that way. Money's gone forever.

    I remember a British military retiree that was investigated because he was over 100 yrs. old and still receiving a pension.
    Authorities were determined to find the person cashing his checks. The retiree was found in an old persons retirement home sitting on the patio chain smoking and drinking whiskey. His mind was sharp and the reason he was in the retirement home is because his friends and relatives were dead and he found peace and friendship in the retirement home.

    Imagine if the UK had veteran homes like here in the states. That dude would be amongst his comrades. Of course, at a century old, probably no others left.
