That early minimum wage growth is huge. 2,5x during 1960-70, then 2x 10 years later. Imagine minimum wage being $30 by 2030, then $60 by 2040.

There are barely no conceptual issues with retirement in countries with public pension systems. Whatever the hell you guys have got going on in the US is a problem with the US implementation.

If you personally want to keep working at an old age, that’s ok, but you should still respect other people’s right to be sustained by society when they’re too weak or feeble to properly gain their own bread.

No personal attacks against you. An uncharitable interpretation of your previous comment would have interpreted your position as being against all forms of retirement, possibly because you personally didn’t want to retire. I tried to word it in a way that attacked this idea, but without being overly confrontational with you. You sound like a reasonable person.
