    What? In the current system we pay retired people money based on past employment as well as just for living long enough, in most countries. Japan can no longer do that soon because without taxing their young to poverty, they just don’t have enough income to fund it.

        I specifically didn’t mention SS and somehow you still bring the US into it in a thread about Japan.

        I meant most of the world in general which is why I didn’t name any such programs by name.
