I always see the words pensions in civic deficit news. I'm early 30s and pensions are a concept that nobody my age or younger will ever benefit from yet is footing the bill for.

Are you mad at the pensioners, who worked for decades on the agreement they’d get a pension, or are you mad at the oligarchs and businesses who lobbied to make pensions a thing of the past so that you’re not protected as well?

You should be mad at the Capitalists not the workers.

It's worth noting that a lot of shares in publicly traded companies are held by retirement and pension funds.

Money paid to a shareholder is money not paid to the person doing the labor and vice-versa.

That's not to say that pension funds are the sole reason that wages haven't kept up with costs over the last 50-ish years, but it doesn't help, particularly when management/the oligarchs are compensated mainly using the same shares that those retirement and pension funds use to generate revenues for the people they cover.
