Seriously, go look at an age demographic pyramid. Half of a cohort dies in the 60-65 area. And it drops precipitously from there until you’re looking at about 2 percent making it to 100.
Capitalists don’t want you retiring. If you’re not making them a widget then they see no use for you. The economically minded might point out that retirees are some of our biggest spenders. But the wealthy elite don’t care. They only see a pool of money they want in their hands. Dying at work is the end they want for their workers. Especially if there’s a pension.
