I mean it isn't Just the 2 years. It's that we are going in the WRONG direction. All this work. Over generations. And we are going backwards!?

We aren't working to invest in the progress of our people but the continue subjugation of ourselves and our children to be exploited by a minority Owner Class.

You're of course right. My comment was cutting pretty short for the sake of catchiness. And as it was mentioned as well coming on top of your points is the really undemocratic way this change was pushed through, bypassing the Parlament. This all makes for a very explosive mixture.

I'm sorry if it seamed that I do not take this seriously enough. This was not my intention.

I don't understand. Things have changed. People live longer and there is a lower percentage of young people in society. What is the other plan to account for that?

And in that time productivity has more than doubled but more than half the wealth from that has gone to the top 1%.

Your math isn't wrong but it is only relevant because we haven't been allow to invest out gains back into our society
