    That would make it more expensive. That’s not realistic, especially with aging populations. Retirement age should always have been life expectancy (like it was in the beginning). And should have been a fixed amount, dignified living, not to fund the life you’ve gotten used to. And on top of UBI, of course.

      I will not accept any “how will we pay for this” arguments when there’s always plenty of money for war, even in Europe. Take it off the billionaires.

        I mean, that would be ideal. But I was talking realistic. Better pensions would be available if people stopped voting against their interests. But we don’t even have that, so a revolt against billionaires doesn’t seem likely to me anytime soon.
