In rich countries with public pension systems. Of course you would have no problem to retire if public pension is good enough for decent living
There are barely no conceptual issues with retirement in countries with public pension systems. Whatever the hell you guys have got going on in the US is a problem with the US implementation.
If you personally want to keep working at an old age, that’s ok, but you should still respect other people’s right to be sustained by society when they’re too weak or feeble to properly gain their own bread.

How did I not respect others?
I’m American, so I legitimately forgot other nations refer to social security retirement plans as pensions when I wrote that.

No personal attacks against you. An uncharitable interpretation of your previous comment would have interpreted your position as being against all forms of retirement, possibly because you personally didn’t want to retire. I tried to word it in a way that attacked this idea, but without being overly confrontational with you. You sound like a reasonable person.
