That's tethered swimming for you:
Raising the age of eligibility for Old Age Security benefits would punish about a fifth of retirees who have no other income, says a Department of Employment briefing note. The department acknowledged the cost of seniors’ benefits overall, soon to eclipse $100 billion a year, will peak at a quarter-trillion: “Retirement is expensive.”
No one else gets to retire.
There are fewer to no children being born; no one can raise a family here (assuming they haven't been scared off of the idea); we kill off our grandmothers; even food is now on a layaway plan.
We brought this on ourselves.
