My stepfather worked his entire life like a goddamn donkey. Even when he was supposed to be on pension his old boss still called him and he actually went and worked for him for free. Today, he's practically crippled from all the physical strain he put his body though. His ex-boss, meanwhile, is rich as fuck and doesn't give a fuck, while my stepfather has the absolute minimum pension and no healthcare.
My grandparents, on the other hand, had a very different story. My grandfather worked for the same employer for 50+ years, never missed a day, and had a decent wage AND a pension which he could access at 55 years of age. They were the last generation to receive their part of the social contract, but the generation of my parents and myself are completely missing out.
Small wonder that the young'uns have eyes in their heads and the werewithal to say "No way, not for me!".
