The poll is about Social Security mainly, and Social Security was supposed to be insurance for the people unfortunate enough to outlive employment. It was specifically designed to kick in at your expiration date.
- jewayne 3y agoWhether you outlive employment depends very much on what kind of employment you have. People with very physical jobs often have their bodies give out well before official "retirement" age. I have a theory that one of the reason infrastructure projects in the US cost so much is that the unions make sure every big project has a few do-nothing jobs for the old guys who can't really work anymore, because our actual safety net is so godawful.
