why should i give up everything I have for my grandkids?
If you had grandkids you'd probably know the answer to that question.
​
If you had read the New Testament you'd probably know the answer to that question.

You probably know the answer to that question; you just don't like the answer.

Why should they not just replace you, take your job?
But in a country with wealth like ours there is really no reason for anyone to go unprovided for.
Those are two separate issues: Let the younger generation take Phat's job and then provide for Phat in some other way.

Re: Provision For Our Aging Workers

If we can all find a way to provide for me and other "me's" than I'll retire and let some young lad take my place.
As far as I'm concerned, a society that can't/won't provide the basic necessities for its members is a society that doesn't work. It may be necessary to "fix society".
​
It may also be necessary to adjust some people's expectations.
