As for pensions, I agree
they have become a disgrace but we shouldn't be moaning about people

Yes, the problem all started with companies taking a holiday from
adding to the pension pot when investments were doing well. Lined their
own pockets instead and then picked the pockets of their employees when
the stock market wasn't doing so well.
