"But you're really just protecting the shareholders." And the people who need to take care of their families. You keep forgetting that letting these people go

  You're back to making the moral argument that we should subsidize older workers who are generally relatively wealthy compared to the rest of the labor force. There's good arguments to be made there. But you can't come in and make economic arguments about how it's better for the employer because you don't know that.

    No, no one is saying anything about subsidies. You are making that up. "But you can't come in and make economic arguments about how it's better for the employer because you don't know that." I'm sure the people who found themselves unable to provide for their families will rest easier knowing the "economics" of it are sound.

      >No, no one is saying anything about subsidies. If you are worth less in the market but employers are forced to keep you and pay you the same, that is a subsidy. >I'm sure the people who found themselves unable to provide for their families will rest easier knowing the "economics" of it are sound. I'm sure the family of the worker who was denied the job they'd be better at than you is not resting easy either.
