    55/60 for women/men but the pension wasn't exactly high. Life expectancy 65 for men, 74 for women. Population was still growing too. Retirement as a concept requires enough young people to serve the needs of the old.

    Oh, dearie me, a pure seeker of knowledge. Sorry, it's just that no one had mentioned the Soviet Union. And people usually bring up things that read like non-sequiturs when they want to establish a connection.

    And I didn't downvote. Yet. I usually wait to downvote until a commenter leaves little doubt that they're a dickhead.

    Watch those downvote numbers. Because they're all about to increase by at least one now.

    Nah fuck that you prove to me humanity can do an economy properly than we have a conversation. At this point we will all die before we ever have a proper economy. The greed of the few out weigh the needs of the many.

    That's not proof an economy works. That's proof you can own a home.

    Holy shit you make a point and then lose reality. Why the fuck do you think those people were in poverty in the first place? You think what made them in poverty disappeared or was masked? There are still rich, poor and middle class. They have a broken economy because everyone has a broken economy.
