Can we stop advocating for people to work further into their 70s. It's utterly inhumane & disportionately affects the poorer majority.
Yes, the entire system is broken. But, we should all be seeking ways for people to retire early. With some energy left to enjoy some life not treading the machine.
Yet again Germany flexes its sexist muscle... conscription for men 'new law introduces a βflexible activationβ model which requires 18-year-old men to fill out a questionnaire about their potential interest in serving in the Bundeswehr'

Something to watch if this is an area of interest.

Can we retire the use of the word βunicornβ to describe bloated valuations? Weβve taken something mythical & noble & fed it through a meat grinder of capitalist jargon. What was a symbol of wonder is now a frat-boy trophy of inflated importance, fiscal delusion & outright capitalist depravity.
