    Just judging by that slop Banner, I can’t even be bothered to judge if a “news site” I have mit once heard about might be the first to geht any information

    “Expert” who most likely can afford healthcare and sits in a nice chair all day long.

    Would be interesting to get actual’s worker opinion on that one.

    That’s a weird article.

    The report underscores the urgency of these reforms, stating that without significant changes, the retirement age could reach 73 by 2060 …

    Except that the linked text contradicts the content a bit, it speaks of “the report” by a “newly formed advisory committee”, but doesn’t name neither a published report nor the experts nor which reforms they urge. Is there a bit more, bro, or even a better source?

    But fear not… not only are you expected to work longer, you are also entitled to less (shrinking “Rentenniveau”). It’s a win-win /s

    Edit: I’m German and I’m pissed that our pension level keeps declining, especially compared to other countries.

      It’s rather easy to understand why that is, though. Just look at what happens in many other countries when politicians dare to fuck with the pensions. They have a general strike on their hands. What happens in Germany? Fuck all, except for some hot air being produced by someone nobody listens to anyway.

        Yea, the debate it is a shame. They come up with countries with more years of labor before pension, but don’t tell you that these countries have like 70% pension level.

        Living costs keep on rising, taxes increase and you cannot save for your retirement, but you should work longer for less (<50%).

        I cannot understand why people aren’t furiously taking that to the street (on the other hand the majority of voters are pensioners, which vastly still have good conditions).
