    Yes. And she is contributing to it with her war-preperation rhetoric. She seriously used the “upcoming war” as an excuse to make us danes work more and retire later (and also to remove a holiday) in a time where the thing we need the most is to fight for shorter work weeks.

    It always amuse me how people think that with life expencanty increasing they could retire earlier and work less (and don’t want, rightly, pay more taxes).

    As for the war-preparation rhetoric, I would rather be prepared and then nothing happen than not being prepared and the something happen (if only Italy could do the same…)

      Shame, that people think they could have the same as all western generations since the beginning of industrialization 😅

      Yeah, of course. Productivity still rises across the board. To merely sustain our wealth, we all could work less and retire earlier, but alas, that does not work if the productivity gains get gobbled up solely by the owners ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
