So you think it is ok for all these old farts to keep their jobs for their entire lives and cheat the younger generation out of having a job? /sarc

I’m not saying that at all. All I’m saying is this — if by “work”, the author of this article is referring to — doing what you have been doing ( your profession ) for as long as you can — then he clearly is idealizing the situation in the workforce.
At a certain age ( usually much younger than 65 as I observe ), you WILL BE forced to retire.
Therefore, you will have to either:
A) Hope you can still be hired ( good luck with that )
B) Start your own business ( good luck with that ).
C) Find some other source of income (good luck with that ).
D) Volunteer doing a good cause (All well and good. But then, that’s not about income at all, which of course, goes against the premise of the article itself ).
You remind me of some idiot who once asked a senior man why he held such a big overtime job, why not let HIM have a chance at it. He answered him thusly:
“Let’s see. Your seniority number is what? Maybe 880, mine is 13. I’ve worked here my whole life to hold this job. Don’t you think between #13 and #880 there might be one other guy or two who would like my job also? NOW GET THE HELL OUTTA HERE, YOU IDIOT!”
