I hate that some of the “solutions” proposed are also about having people have to wait longer to collect on their benefits, all while intergenerational warfare is being stoked, with one of the conclusions being that people should be forced out of work even sooner than they already are. Oh, sure, there are supposedly rules against ageism, but corporations have a habit of concocting some paper trail that matches what they need it to.

And now it’s become en vogue to make this a national conversation aimed at politicians that someone has decided are arbitrarily “too old” because, well, reasons. Not because of their track record. It’s only going to get worse at the workplace now, so that’s wonderful.

Which is all so cool: so now people might get a decade or more of time where they a) cannot work because of some idiotic idea that they are not capable of it and b) cannot collect entitlements.

And the so-called “liberal media” gives these kinds of narratives a huge boost. It’s all so fucking stupid. What they should be boosting is the fact that this so-called “crisis” is just as easily remedied as the supposed similar “crisis” that was created within the Post Office, too.
