Yes. And she is contributing to it with her war-preperation rhetoric. She seriously used the “upcoming war” as an excuse to make us danes work more and retire later (and also to remove a holiday) in a time where the thing we need the most is to fight for shorter work weeks.
Her heart is in the right place, just a shame she is dumb as a brick.
Her reactions are a different matter, but what do you expect her to say about the current state of affairs with russia? There’s clearly a history of escalations by russia towards european countries, especially in the last few weeks

It always amuse me how people think that with life expencanty increasing they could retire earlier and work less (and don’t want, rightly, pay more taxes).
As for the war-preparation rhetoric, I would rather be prepared and then nothing happen than not being prepared and the something happen (if only Italy could do the same…)

Shame, that people think they could have the same as all western generations since the beginning of industrialization 😅
Yeah, of course. Productivity still rises across the board. To merely sustain our wealth, we all could work less and retire earlier, but alas, that does not work if the productivity gains get gobbled up solely by the owners ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

It is not a shame, it is expected but not always possible.

It is not a problem of productivity but a problem of how many years you work before retiring and how many year you live after you retire (with the obvious exceptions).
I agree that the increase in productivity should generate an higher pay for the worker but that is sustainable up until a certain point, you cannot expect to work for 20 years then to live 40 or more years in retirement with the same standard of living since what you get while retired is what you accumulate while working, even with a higher productivity.

Erm, we’re far away from those numbers, so let’s discuss THAT when the time comes.
But apart from that, yes, productivity gains which are shared fairly enable exactly that: work less, be it less hours or earlier retirement or a mix of both. The productivity gains do exactly what is needed for it: more output with less input, it is directly connected.
