This increasing preference for a lifelong income, could perhaps make the act of “retiring” obsolete.

Wow what a boomer article. Most young people just don’t expect the current systems and institutions to last that long. Millenials have lived through several financial crises and economic downturns with no chance for improvement in sight. It just gets worse until the generation responsible for it dies out.

Some of us Boomers actually wonder WTF the ‘New Deal’ went, and lament it’s loss for our grand/children.
Seriously, stop buying into and dividing up one side that would stand together against that kind of thing.
