re: #896 karmic_inquisitor

Forced retirements are yet another trick in the socialist bag for keeping unemployment down.

You kick out the old fart and that creates a job for a young one.

The young one is no longer unemployed. The old one gets counted as “retired”. So the unemployment rate goes down.

The odd thing is, here in the UK, that many big chain stores emply the old farts and old fartettes because the young ones hang on the welfare tit and can’t be botehred to work.
The old’uns know what they’re doing and are valued employees - valued by customers as well.
Mind - they’re not in full-time employment, so this law doesn’t seem to apply.
