I am sure all those tax breaks for rich is going to work out… Any second now…
Unretirement ? Wow, that is crazy.
If we tap into the underage and the elderly, we can avoid paying more and keep our yachts!
“Economically inactive” 🤣
They are not old, they are economically inactive. Hmm, I can see it becoming a thing…
This is part of every tight labor market, the marginally attached come back in when the employer is willing to pay up.
Imagine someone retired for 6 months and then a big project comes up at their old employer…they might go back, but it better be for 30% more or something.
That’s exactly what my grandfather did, although it was quite a bit more than 30%.
Bit of a special case though, he legitimately really enjoyed his job and worked it so he only went into the office 3 days a week
I’m really conflicted about this. On the one hand, I am not defined by my contribution to the economy, the value capital owners are able to skim off my labour. Fuck off with that.
On the other, 50-64 year olds who could afford to retire early are exactly the demographic buying into nativist anti-immigration rhetoric resulting in this, and it’s a bit funny thinking about that group getting hoisted by their own petard.
They’re not getting hoisted by anyone’s petard. It’s not the people who can afford a comfortable retirement the liberals* have in their sights here.
- for any confused USians, that word does not mean what you (probably) think it means
