This exactly: the old v. young issue is a deliberate distraction and divide-and-conquer strategy so the superrich can keep eating everyone else.

There can be more than one issue at a time, you know. It's pretty clear the increased ratio between pensioners and working people would be an issue regardless. Tax avoidance and the global race to the bottom is also a problem. I don't see why one precludes the other.

"I don't see why one precludes the other."

Sure, provided the title was changed to "the rich are eating the young and the old are doing slightly better than the young".

I don't think that was the impression they were trying to give though.

Oh, well, you're right about that, I just took as an assumption the title was humbug.
