You DID say any reason?

Yes, I did.

It's not your job. Surely there are other and better ways of dealing with unreasonable employers. Government's legislating and regulating how and when and on whom a capitalist can spend his capital cannot possibly be the best answer.

"Government's legislating and regulating how and when and on whom a capitalist can spend his capital cannot possibly be the best answer."

The reason why the government has done just this is because employers have in the past, fired people for the reasons I wrote about earlier. The government has had to step in and protect the worker because the employer had the power, money, and resources; and the employee had none of these. And sadly it is still going on even today, as we see in the posted article above.

So employers should simply fire someone the day before they're scheduled to retire - no paying retirement benefits then
