How surprising: the CEO who runs the company that owns Axios Media, the richest man in Georgia, has his media outlet write why slaving away in your elder years is “good for the economy”.

I've seen a lot of articles lately telling powerless peasants they should be grateful to work until they're dead.

It disgusts me that we just go along.

The people suffering right now are the boomers who should be retiring but can't because they made bad political decisions.

In 10 years, it will be Gen X.

In 25 years it will bd Millenials. I don't expect us to "go along" once the boomers are gone.

technically the first Xers hitting 65 will be like 5 or 4 years I think.

"More and more drones remain absolutely dependent on my goodwill for their basic survival needs. There is no escape until death. My iron grip will soon encase them all from birth to their miserable demise, they will be in my power, under my control alone!"

"Uh, are you sure that this is what you want printed, sir?"

"Ugh, fine, make it palatable to the peons, if you must."

"Ummm. 'More... Americans... over 65... "
