Darki has an axe to grind with the younger generation. i.e. those that are not yet pensioners.
Some years ago my mother when my mother was 84, she was abused by a bank clerk for asking a question about her pension. It seems the little so-and-so thought she didn't deserve one.
My mother had a baby when my father left to serve in the Middle East for five years... she paid taxes and she kept us both with the small stipend from my father's OS pay.
She earned every penny of that pension.
Now I have a pension and at 73 after something like 45 years of working I am entitled to relax.. my tax pays for that.
One day - IF you get to this age you might have managed to put aside a considerable amount of money to support yourselves, but of course something can go terribly wrong and you will find youself where gil is... it isn't funny and should not be berated.
Will now take axe off grinder 🙂
