Пример заботы о пенсионерах

[onb2017]

Вчера написала про детей, с надеждой на то, что тем, кому не безразлично их будущее, прочитают и сделают выводы. Сегодня нашла замечательный пример о том, как в капиталистическом государстве заботятся о пенсионерах. И не о простых, а о военных.

Meanwhile it's already that way: If you cannot cooperate anymore with those who hand out work, then you're on the same deposit track at the train station like old people and pensioners...Thrown away and forgotten. Served your purpose.
And you get like talked into believing it's all your fault. Didn't have enough ambitions, didn't work hard enough and all that crap.

BTW, one of the pictures I found here says exactly that. When you fulfilled your function working - just die.

And I just didn't have enough time to expand on international examples. Some time ago read an article how the government was dumping the remains of american veterans with garbage. So, not like some Russians like to think that it is only in Russia but in the US where the capitalism is supposedly not corrupt and classic they take care of retired people. Yeah right.
And by the way, when I was looking for pics I found one meme where the poor Russian old lady all in shambles and the clean and happy German old lady screwing around on an apple laptop drinking coffee. Implying that in the developed capitalism everything is great and old people are valued and all they do: eat at the restaurants and travel. The rest of the time they drive expensive convertibles.

American veterans aren't among the most-compensated compared to which service they did for their country. That's even known to me. If not for the verteran organizations to support them, there hardly isn't anything

That's what I thought. And by the way, BMW and Mercedes employers are better taken care of because bourgeois like to have some well-to-do proletariat on their side. While they can.

For those big firms, it's some kind of tradition. I'd go the the same way for a reason like you, it's to keep your workers warm and liquid, so they don't run away and go to a different employer. Maybe also, those enterprises can't afford it to treat their workers too badly because they need their skills and knowledge. One knows what it looks like when it is run the other way - and this is way more common than a treatment like the employer needs its workers.

It is rather an exception, though.

Yes, that's what it is.
