If they hadn't filled their slums with immigrants who are willing to work for dirt, and do the jobs that those youth are "too good to do", then they might have less trouble finding jobs.

Can't wait till I'm eligible to retire at 48. Could have been 43, but I signed a 25 year contract.

I have to wait until I'm at least 44. I got a late start.

side note...
My sister, who is going through her MBA program came over and talked about how the retirement age is going to be upped to 77.
I asked her where she heard that and she said "she thinks" it was in her textbook.
I recommended she double check before taking her next exam and if she needed help with any legal or regulatory stuff to give me a call.

summary....
The youth are precious, ignorant little things....

The way things are going, she probably isn't to far off.
