The thing is, none of the young uns will receive a pension,either state or private. A private pension is a bet that the #capitalist system will outlive you; a state pension, that the nation state will.
For people under 40, neither of these is a good bet. So yes, a pension is a cost to them, for which they will probably see no return. We are in end times.
