Linked – Stop stereotyping Gen Z. Focus instead on why we’re disillusioned about the future of work.

So yeah, maybe the French won’t necessarily still get to retire with a pension at 62. (though Nathan does a good job of explaining why that isn’t impossible, this was a choice made to protect the wealthy from being taxed, after all.)
