Think about it. What will longer working hours really do? They will create frustration, stress, more illness because of these two. It will lead to a reduction in productivity, reduction in worker motivation, overall reduced worker satisfaction.

How can you be so confident that this is a positive direction?

What is harming the pension system? It is unsustainable in its current form, everybody knows that, even the mainstream media is not denying it.

We have more and more people that get pensions, and less and less people paying for it. People live longer. People start working later.

What do you mean „stop hoping“? We have not even tried to make it happen.

Forcing people to work more hours will not help.

You are wrong. Plain and simple. Economic growth does not go hand in hand with more working hours. In fact productivity decreases with more working hours, potentially having even a negative impact.

There are enough studies that show that a 4 day working week increases productivity and mental health, leading to an overall better quality of life.

More working hours has the opposite effect.

Because the pension system will not be very good at all in 20-30 years. Sure, you can live a „normal pensioners life“ because all the normal ones will be poor at that point in time.

The CDU is doing their best to destroy it (and many other things)

Never assume something is the end. There is always something better. It is just one breakthrough away.
