Later retirement. Earlier death

Apparently, 16% of older employees are willing to work on to a later retirement age. So devastated have retirement finances been manipulated, the prospects of a very difficult retirement have 'persuaded' people to become compliant and accept a reduced retirement period before a 'natural' death.

The upside for government by this manipulation is far fewer years of paying the old-age-pension. If old-age-pensioner status is ever attained.

Remember this: how long before fat is taxed. Otherwise it is another essentially waste product.

Like humans.
