The average working person's wages and conditions have been decimated for decades (mostly because they stopped joining unions). Private debt creates an illusion that people are well-off. Now you may be forced to sell your home - if you even own one - via a reverse mortgage, before you get a sniff of old aged pension. Notice they already raised the pension age. Homes ridiculously over-valued by the same private debt, so the whole scheme will collapse anyway (who will pay if sale of the home at somebody's death doesn't cover their reverse mortgage?). And we still line up to vote for the bastards who decide this, every time. Dumb slaves, that's us.
