Retired old people who aren't just ... busy being sick and dying give back to their communities in HUGE ways. We had someone's grandpa come to our robotics competition to cheer the team on. The old people in my building do all the serious political organizing and man the polls. I'm too busy working being in my 40s and all that.

Raising retirement ages takes away more than just "retirement" ... it makes everything harder.

Far as I'm concerned it should be 59.

@futurebird You make a good argument that a younger retirement age is better, giving more people more years to do the unpaid work that benefits everyone.

Take this to its logical conclusion: A is like retirement, without dictating when you're no longer allowed ro work for money. With (or ) there would be so many more people who end the rat race working for money just to stay alive, and now work for no money to make life better for all.
