More people in IT should treat pensions more seriously.

A 70 year old man having 12 years left on a mortgage sure seems like strange math going on.

People should guarantee higher pensions for the elderly. In fact, we should pay them more than they made when they when tHey were working. Take the money from the wealthy.

Obviously having to work as a greeter at the age of 79 with spinal problems is not a great situation, and people deserve security in old age. But is working to this age really the end of the world? This guy will probably live a longer life and experience a slower decline in health than if he were sitting at home watching TV.
