Since Saturday, Australians have been required to wait until the age of 67 until they can get the age pension. It has happened with little protest — a stark contrast to the demonstrations and riots that have rocked France, writes Peter Whiteford.
Because none of us under the age of 50 suffer the delusion that we might be able to retire some day.
Retirement is for boomers, and the wealthy. The rest of us pick up the slack, all while while we’re labeled lazy and ungrateful by those that came before us.
Edit: haha oh, this is Australia. Sorry, American here. I just assumed it was us because it was depressing. I wonder if my take on this transcends the country borders, though? Do you all have the same sort of situation there?

Honestly, you might be American but you’re right (imho).
