Hay guys,today will be Insane in France. They are not havin it, and came together to fight this Retirement Age. I think they are going to win? I find it funny what the cause is? Meaning of all the Crazy Gov. wrong doing going on,they drew the line In the sand on this topic. I bet they would tell me: What will it be Next Avy? Good for them!

I wish we could come together as a Nation.

In the cleavage of the Tetons
Let them all eat cake, or something.
In other French news, I am studying it every day along with my Spanish on duolingo. Not sure exactly why, basically because I used to speak it a bit going to school in Strassbourg.

I think we could learn something from most western countries
FTFY

Healthcare, pensions and lack of being killed every day by gunz springs to mind.

edit: but unfortunately I do get the need to raise the state retirement age from 62 upwards, but I wouldn't be a fan of the extra two years work either.

But I thought you escaped the UK to get *away* from this sort of blatant socialism?!? :confused: :homer:
I was on a 3 year plan to work over here and to not get killed by gunz when I relocated with my company. I seem to have missed my original planned evacuation date by some margin.

Where else would be on your list of acceptable places for you and the missus? Or was it Brexit that dashed your plan on the rocks?
Brexit screwed the ability to move, work and retire anywhere in the EU without worrying about visas etc. Ignoring that aspect, after living all these years now in CO with mountains to ride in, perhaps Andorra area?

Why 6th,why do you get the need to raise it?
Cause the Goverement spent the Money for that account like we did here?

I think it was Roosevelt that Fucking allowed the SS account monies tobe used for whatever. Nobody talks about this though? It should have never been touched! Now,they say we are out of money. Medicare,no money,SS,out by 2035? The money has been taken from us,but they spent it. Don’t get me started.

Ignoring the anomaly of COVID lowering the life expectancy in many areas, people are living longer, so more money is needed to support that pension for the extra years.

Was collecting the paperwork and ready to acquire a British passport a while back until all it would do was get me into Britain.

One of my brothers who did(does?) a lot of work in mainland Yurp with his company was trying to work out if he could get an Irish passport to avoid the BS.

So,you in are favor of it? That sounds like an excuse to me. The pension plans out here in CA,are in serious trouble,due to mismanagement of the Fat Pot of Money Due to the people who put into their whole working career.

To take a man or women’s retirement monies when they have paid their dues should be Criminal. Like my Father, when Ichon took over TWA. Any Corporate takeover,the people somehow have No Rights to their Decades of service? Then give back the dues they paid! How is this Even possible? SS is a different matter,but the Goverment is doing/allowing the same thing. It’s all fun an games,til it’s you.

They've been blathering like this for 40 years. :rolleyes:
Brother,they should not be “blathering” at all! Yes,they have been saying that,does that make it OK for them to Tap that account? Or are you just ok with it and tired of hearing it? Now we have all this Bullshit about SS cause it is running out! This,is one matter that should not even be a topic for us,it was a locked account,until.
