Hilariously wrong. The question is whether the city entered into a labor contract with the pensioner, and whether they fulfilled their end of the contract. Do you go to a restaurant, eat a seven course dinner, then skip out on the bill because you don't think the price was reasonable?
- fargolime 12y agoThe better analogy is, you get the bill and discover you're supposed to also pay for the old couple who ate there. You didn't agree to do that. Instead the old couple's generation agreed that you'd have to pay for them when they reached a certain age. And oh yeah: you don't get the same deal when you're old.
