So... we have more automation than ever before, and the solution is to make "everyone else" work longer so that all the benefits can be showered on these few privileged. I expect that a lot of people who actually, really invented and developed this largess, would be disgusted with their attitude. And with what has happened to American society. P.S. Yes, my statement is a bit simplistic and ignores the global context. But, confined to American society, I think my rebuttal has validity. And even on a global scale, I don't think I'm being disingenuous. U.S. senior management seems just as inclined to be exploitative abroad as domestically. My comment also ignores increasing lifespan, but I don't think current discussion around increasing retirement age is being honest on that front. Rather, it seems to be another component of advocacy for a regressive distribution of society's expenses. (Also, lifespan increases seem to be slowing -- even regressing, in some cases -- and becoming more divergent (again?) based on affluence and economic opportunity.) P.P.S. It's all the more hypocritical, when I think about it, in that many of these CEO's companies actively (if circumspectly) discriminate against hiring anyone over 50 -- or even in the upper 40's. In today's world where "no job is secure", and where corporations seek to control ever-more of the marketplace, how would they propose to reconcile this?
