I feel like people don’t think half a step ahead.
The children that these parents are taking care of, will probably grow up and work. Their work will allow our retirement. People without children just don’t provide the same utility to the society.
We need “young people” and if we are unwilling to invest in that, we won’t have them. And then we all moan about lack of social safe nets and pension safety.

Billionaires are the problem, not the people. There’s plenty of money and resources for everyone, just that they are all concentrated in the 1% of the population. I pay more in taxes in percentage than those billionaires, why shouldn’t my taxes be enough to cover my retirement? Is it because someone decided to give tax cuts to billionaires and now there’s a hole in the budget?

At the rate prices are going up I’ll never be able to retire. So, fuck those kids.

It’s a prisoners dilemma. The employer who accommodates parents won’t reap the benefit themselves.
