What question do you want answered exactly? Why we have governments and not anarchy?
- foxyv 9mo agoWhy does the government get to decide when we retire?
- paxys 9mo agoLike I said, they don't. You can retire today. They decide when you get access to a national retirement plan. Citizens of the country vote for that plan and how it is implemented.
- foxyv 9mo agoI personally could retire today. Most people can't. There is no referendum I remember where we decided to raise the retirement age. It seems like our government just kind of decided to do so.
- seanmcdirmid 9mo agoCouldn’t you say the same thing about social security or pensions? There is a lot of economic forces that direct people to work until a certain age, the government controlling a benefit is only one of them. As to why, you’ll need to dissect representative democracies in Singapore’s case.

- foxyv 9mo agoYou apparently know very little about me. Edit: Although, when my time comes as it inevitably will, I think the wilderness would be a nice place to do it. Maybe in a tree.
