So they’re saying they want us to die on the job. That might be okay for some but I still want to at least pretend to retire before I croak

Otto von Bismarck moment.
(Context: dude instated pretty much the first pensions system in the world to try and stop the Marxists gaining influence, and allegedly asked the guy in charge of making the program to set the retirement age at a value where most of the population would die before reaching it. Iirc they settled on 70 years old, which is definitely too old for the average 19th century factory peon)
