    Well obviously, once we retire our lives no longer have value.

    The closer retirement age and death are the better it is for the economy; at its most efficient we’d work until the day we die at 60.

      I mean, no. Entire industries are founded on retirement money being spent. They want people to save 401ks, no pensions. And then die as soon as they run out of money or start costing the state anything

        But wouldn’t it be better for them if we die and our children cash out their parents’ retirement savings to put it into the economy immediately? Think of how much economic activity is generated when a 30 year old inherits two $500,000 accounta from their dead parents!
