Laboring Longer a Growing Trend For Americans

AxSpark writes "More and more Americans have the tendency to work after retirement and this number is growing day by day. Last year this number was 6 million people of 65 and over working. The reason for that is quite evident: pensions are not enough for sufficient living."

    I'm the first to realise I might have a big problem if all the drinking and smoking just doesn't kill me in time.

    I hear there are companies that sell a solution to this problem. Like Beretta, Browning, Glock, Remington, etc.

    Either they choose to keep working, or they didn't put enough of THEIR OWN money away for retirement.

    You willfully blind people, always talking about money. Look at demographics. Look at how they are affecting what is currently happening in Japan. Old folks homes with robots and minimal staff, looking like the worst elements of the Matrix

    Look at hyper-inflation.Watch some old videos of Russian grandmothers trying to buy bread with wheelbarrows of cash.

    Understand that this is the future for all western cultures. Blame the chemist who sells the birth control and the feminists and capitalists who tell young people they should get an education and a mortgage and put off child rearing till their 30s or later. Blame the aftermath second world war for creating the cultural trauma that created this malignant social order. But for fucks sake, understand what is happening.
