Companies will chose to invest in younger staff.

Unless we continue with mass immigration, these will be in very short supply...

good - young people should be very highly valued and their scarcity will only enhance that - it's a bl00dy travesty for society to expect the young to clean up (metaphorically or literally) after the oldies

"I believe the children are our future, teach them well and let them lead the way" clever chap that George Benson 🙂 yes I know it was Linda Creed the lyricist

It's also how most families and societies have operated for 1000s of years....

I wasn't suggesting a socialist utopian answer

I was 🙂

But yes - you put it very eloquently and I agree entirely.

Anyone think the citizen's wage idea would be the start of this project? Allowing us to contribute to society without needing to be directly salaried on the basis of activity?

Poss but only as a replacement for the benefits system (sensible approach) NOT as an addition (John McD IIRC)

Dunno why you are all on about automation. This is just a straight up rob of money from my pocket.

What if I said the money was never Er in your pocket to start with. In fact the money doesn't even exist.

I was thinking about this last night listening to any questions but has thier ever been any consideration for retirement age differing by job, outside the public sector? So physical workers retire younger than office jockeys? I waa thinking each job category has a code and you accrue points say 1 a year for farmer, labourer, bin man etc. 0.9 a year for sedentary work and you have to work towards a points total, say 45 to retire.seems a bit fairer although I know all other kind of health issues come with age, not just those from a physical life

I'd say somebody finally gets it. The numbers don't matter and can be manipulated any way we like. We are in an utterly insane situation where we're constantly told the numbers dictate the path we need to take, **** that. It's stupid. We should decide what we want to do then make the number fit.
