The government is creeping silently towards a pension scheme such as the Chilean.

Every worker carries a work record book through life. At the end of working life, pensions are paid in accordance with work record: IE, limited work equals limited pension.
This is all very right wing think. What the supporters of this guaranteed inequality overlook or choose to ignore, is sooner (mostly) rather than later, they themselves are impacted by the same repressive rule of law.

Diver Dan,
Yes, the people who support the siphoning of money off the aged are
no doubt shooting themselves in the foot,
because---Here come the robots and they too may find
themselves without many work opportunities.

Driverless cars and trucks and buses. Lot of jobs gone there, when they get that up and running.
Plus some of those Japanese robots look like they might soon
Man the McDonald's counters, go down the mines and dig up the gold, take the soldiers jobs.

The trouble is when people get to thinking, I'm alright Jack, and let the ruling classes
Water down the rights of all the lower peasants, They then find themselves one day
In the same position. Too old,too sick, no job and no income except,maybe they
will be allowed to buy rations on a limited, issued card.
Think of the little blood vessels in your brain, one of those has just got to go POP!
and it's a rations card for you. Happens to young people too.
