Libs will call it fake data cause it shows North Korea is better in something :shrug-outta-hecks:
Akshually sweaty it's fake because north koreans work until death, they do not have a word for "retire"
When North Koreans retire, they are forced to pull the Grandpa Train from station to station.
Good news!
life expectancy in the US is actually down to 76 https://laist.com/news/live-free-and-die-the-sad-state-of-us-life-expectancy
Both sets of my grandparents retired when they were ~57 and it was normal to retire around that age. Average retirement age keeps going up too.
Umm actually you can see that all of the bad countries have higher numbers, so this actually shows that having lower expected years after retirement is good.
We’re better than the Russians. That’s the only metric that matters.
Charts like this don't tell the whole story.
First even in back in the USSR it wasn't that much higher, it had stalled in the 1960-70s at 68 average.
Than there was a massive drop in the 90s because of the end of the USSR and its tough to say where they would be without those lost 2 decades. Still the data shows they're actualy improving quite a lot in the past 2 decades. From 63 to 68(males) in just the last 10 years.
The biggest problem was the COVID drop, that was pure incompetence and ideology, but otherwise its just material conditions making a difference over time.
Techbro vampires, right now, openly discuss their desire to abolish retirement as a concept. :agony-4horsemen:
My buddy keeps sending me photos of a shitty painting hung high up at his office building of the flag raising soldiers with a plaque beneath it inscribed with this very slogan.
It’s so fucking stupid but I laugh every time
A bunch of my co-workers are boomers who were forced out of retirement due to inflation, who regularly get worked to exhaustion because they don't understand there's no special award for acting tough.
I posted this vid just a few weeks ago. But seeing France right next to the US on that chart makes it topical - Cadillac - Poolside.
Also - is the graphic new? If not - the number for the US has gone down.
