A million French citizens are striking over an attempt to raise theirs from 62 to 64, sacré bleu!
it's all about cost savings, of course, but governments couch the argument as people have a longer life expectancy, so a later retirement is all relative. sure, people live longer on average, but that doesn't mean lots of blue collar/manual labor workers are physically able to continue doing their jobs in their late 60s. it's different for everyone who just sits at a computer, Gus and Stan will keep working until they're 80. or in Gus' case, with his diet and optimization protocols, probably 150.
