Reminds me of Norwegians as they near retirement age, showing up to work with a newspaper under their arm. But it is a sure sight better than the Capitalist - 'you earn or your out', which has now become, 'you better be cheaper in the long run than your energetic, dynamic replacement, and can prove you'll make me significantly more money this year since you are closer to retirement and thus a liability'.
Ah, pining for a little of the good parts of socialism (more older worker protections and healthcare protections) to at least send out a tiny tendril in the US someday.
