8. We in the first cohort saw our involuntary pension contributions
ripped off by corporations every time we changed jobs for the first chunk of our working lives and it was perfectly legal for them to do so. We also took the brunt of the economic disasters in the 70s and 80s, when massive unemployment made sure we'd abandon our pension contributions in corporation after corporation.
The second cohort is still young enough to benefit from a swing of the economic pendulum to the left. The game is over for the first. We're old, we're tired, and most of us will be working until we drop.
