This is ridiculous. The American Dream is dead - destroyed by the billionaire class, who made it across the bridge and then immediately scuttled the bridge behind them.

Work Reform

A place to discuss positive changes that can make work more equitable, and to vent about current practices. We are NOT against work; we just want the fruits of our labor to be recognized better.
Our Philosophies:
- All workers must be paid a living wage for their labor.
- Income inequality is the main cause of lower living standards.
- Workers must join together and fight back for what is rightfully theirs.
- We must not be divided and conquered. Workers gain the most when they focus on unifying issues.
Our Goals
- Higher wages for underpaid workers.
- Better worker representation, including but not limited to unions.
- Better and fewer working hours.
- Stimulating a massive wave of worker organizing in the United States and beyond.
- Organizing and supporting political causes and campaigns that put workers first.

Not saying you're wrong, but kind of funny since the article is British.
More like the capitalist dream is dead I guess. Capitalism works ok early on before the capital has all settled into the rich people's pockets.
I fully anticipate never retiring and dying at my desk at work. Yay capitalism.
It's true. I see more and more elderly working around me, when they should be living off their pensions.
And this has a yet another bad side effect: my company has not hired new young workers to train because there is no need - all the retirees keep coming back when they are needed. There is a huge issue with finding a job for young people because there is enough old people working still.
These companies are just pushing the problem to 5 years later, when all the elderly physically can't work anymore.
Agreed.
