oh so by people you meant you and your family. Clearly the selfless capitalism is convenient for you isn't it?
If 'move up' means a lower standard for everyone else, how 'good' can it really be? I don't really know where you got retirement from. That's a 20th century invention that most want no part of.(Most retired people come out of retirement at least once for a reason boss.)
So because I choose people I know to demonstrate a point then that also means that I don't know anyone outside of a friend and family circle that capitalism has helped?
"Clearly the selfless capitalism is convenient for you isn't it" nice but if snark there... So much for an actual discussion.
If you are retired and WANT to go back to work is completely different from not having a choice when you are old tired and no one will hire you and you don't have enough money to live on. Bit of a difference there.
I don't know of anyone that does not want to retire. Many who come out of retirement only work part time. Not full time, again they want to. Not that they don't have a choice.
If you don't want it that's fine, but anyone I've spoken to does.
Have a good night. I'm out.
