@michael@westergaard.social Your perspective misses that first, while the amount of retired people increased, the amount of young people decreased. Yes, more people are getting pensions paid, but less kids and teenagers are getting schools paid, and there are less parents getting child support. In addition, productivity rose a lot, even more than the ratio of _working person_ to _persion receiving pension_ changed. Lack of money is not a problem for paying pensions. In other words: Please be careful, it seems like you are at risk of the same fallacy "kurzgesagt" ran into already. Don't let yourself get agitated in a generation conflict that doesn't exist. Long version with focus on Germany, but the it mostly applies to other western countries too: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UjmsfOXy5oM @HI_Greens@mastodon.scot
