Does this really mean both sides are equally bad?
Nope not at all.
Those opposed want to keep things the way they are.
Those in favor want to take from the younger generation for (insert greed related reason disguised as noble act here).
There are negative repercussions for changing the age across the industry.
-Negotiations with 401k, vacation, LTD at different values
-Medical standards possibly changing
-Stagnation on seniority list
-Have to work longer to achieve value of career earnings
There are not any negatives to leaving it as is.
My point is that it’s all about money. It’s not equal in greed. The older folks take from the generation behind them. This older generation that accuses the younger one of being selfish, sensitive, and entitled want to take from the younger generation and gets their feelings hurt when you call them out on it.
