Fine. Who is going to hire people in their 60s and 70s so they can earn a living until the Mises Libertarians think they should be eligible for Social Security?
What companies are hiring - as opposed to firing - people in their 60s and 70s?
Many people won’t live that long.
I guess that’s the idea. lol
Presently, I would say at age 50....you might already have some problems in finding new employment, and at 60...more than 50-percent of companies will skip over you. This is a bogus discussion topic with politicians.
Young people, particularly college graduates, have less than nothing to offer. Not only do they have not just bad but downright awful attitudes, but they don't know anything and they don't want to learn.
It won't be a quick transition for a lot of companies, but there is a large potential market out there for older workers.
60+ workers have a huge amount of experience and their work ethic is beyond compare.
True unrecognized jewels in the American working world.
As an aside, I had a brief consulting assignment at a small company several years ago and we had a computer emergency one day. Time was of the essence. I asked a young man (about 23 y/o) standing nearby to run down to the supply room for something and I said, "you'll have to hustle."
He looked at me with disdain and said, "I don't hustle for anyone."
I don't know whatever happened to that young man but his future is dim. And given that he is representative of today's youth, I would say to those hoping to build a workforce of these types of workers, your future is equally dim unless you consider older workers with good old-fashioned work ethics.
I've read that some retirees are finding work at fast food chains or as Walmart greeters. Both those jobs pay minimum wage.
Of course, most retirees are not only old, they're white. Which makes it especially difficult for them to find decent jobs in corporate America.
Close the border and impose a fee of say $50,000 per H1b visa per year and viola! American companies will magically discover older workers and other Americans are employable after all.

Hi, welcome to Target. Is there anything I can help you find today?
The irony is that libertarians won't stop pushing for policies like free trade, open borders, and removing all government benefits until we get a real socialist revolution.
