Re: Pensions Slash and Burn (none / 0)

And in the next generation this becomes what? People still working from the grave? Bring back child labour?

Re: Pensions Slash and Burn (none / 0)

The next generation will invest in government bonds - Fillon is getting up a special issue for the public with a higher rate of interest than if France were to raise sovereign debt on the markets. So the next generation will put aside the higher interest that they will themselves have paid every time they go to the supermarket or the petrol station, and... er...

Forget about it.

I think child labour is the easiest option. Now how best to make that socially acceptable?

Working as a child shortens life and thus brings forward the age at which one is no longer capable of working.

Thinking of early retirement? Start work young!
