I read today that France,(the land of govt-mandated 8 weeks annual vacation, and the mandated 35 hour work week) has come up with a new “austerity” plan requiring people to work until age 62 before retiring on pension

Oh, the humanity

France among all nations on the planet has more exposure to Italian sovereign debt than anyone,at 480 billion. Italy goes and France will have to readjust the retirement age to 93.Also have no money left to buy surrender flags.

I retired 12 years ago at age 54 but I well remember all the 70 hour weeks I put in and a lot of years with no vacation at all.

It's not about who retires at what age but whether someone has earned it on their own. If anyone thinks that's "unfair" screw the commie bastards.
