      @carnagepa71 That mentality is outdated so i'm going to assume your 71 is your birthdate. Basically, with every year that passes fewer and fewer jobs are available due to automization, AI, and outsourcing to other regions so at some point society needs to make a stand. If it was solely left up to a company they would fully automate/replace everyone with AI so they didn't have to pay anyone.
      Typically the argument is that it's an easy job and undeserving of a livable wage but everyone is born with different talents and aspirations for how they want to earn revenue.
      A good example of this is AI threatening writers & artists jobs wich is fundementality harder to master and this is with current technology, so one can assume no job is safe.
      Now apply that logic with the information I have now provided you and do you still hold the same belief?
      With that mentality, at some point people will just starve due to corporations choosing automization and AI because it's profit driven.
      The truth is that everyone willing to work should be able to do so while maintaining a comfortable life. These people aren't asking to maintain a lobter eating, ferrari driving lifestyle. People generaly want to work and companies know that which is why they've been taking advantage of people for so long.

    Pensions have been inplace in excess of 75 years they are not any longer considered a benefit offered by Corporations or large businesses. That is a media ploy, one answer to this impass on Pensions is that the big three could commit to forming a Pension alliance fund whose assets base would be tied to the big three's balance sheets and comprised by their collective results, the initial funding could be a compromise between existing Pension funds and future statistical age and retirement analysis up to and including Pensions buyout options upon retirement eligible employees. This would allow new employees increase and help manage the future workforce needs.
