The vast Dutch pension system is to be reformed. There's a lot at stake: €1.5 trillion in fact. As always, we trust the experts. What could possibly go wrong?
Sadly, the pattern is common all over the West, Natostans, 5 eyes and so on..... Wall st or ECB looted money in past decades for casino games, rigged and lost; and now they want to loot more leaving people unable to claim the money they saved, while pretending the system is good, sound and what have you...... but the people must pay for the idiots politicians, no matter color, stripe or else, to enable gamblers and looters to continue a dead end cycle to destroy real economy, just like coovid lockdowns, so they can play casino games, and who cares about consequences..... just as bad cycle as imperialist wars, and people are not mad yet, only the French seem to have caught onto the fraudsters.
They pushed us out to 67 for retirement now, in the USA (or are about to). I am 59, and see little reason to continue to contribute to what must be the worst possible investment one could make. Even the US government does not invest in the USA government, or the USA generally, as seen by the state of things. Why should I continue to 'invest' with the USA?
'Casino' is about right to describe gambling with our pension tokens. But it's worse than mere gambling at a casino, because that involves a personal choice. This here is a syndicate 'stealing' our hard-earned cash to gamble with (for the benefit of relieving employers/pension funds from the associated risks(?), not to mention other ends further down the rabbit hole) and arrogantly saying 'trust us, we know what's best for you'. It is sad that the Dutch seem resigned to the erosion of their rights and wealth, the Pandemic Preparedness Act and this Pension Act being just the latest in a slew of ambushes. At least the French push back and put up a fight, but even here the rulers' hands are (now) globally tied.
