Today I’ve got this Issue on my Nationstates (nationstates.net)
No Country For Old Men
After several incidents which resulted in the loss of millions of CURRENCY have been discovered to be caused by senility and feebleness, concerned financial and medical professionals are wondering if retirement should be made mandatory at a certain age.
I’ve encountered with many choices
1. “It’s not really such a bad idea,” suggests Miley Stephenson, your middle-aged medical adviser while checking your pulse to see if you’re still alive. “You see, when some people reach a certain age, they become too weak and mentally incompetent to do their job. Therefore, we need to impose mandatory retirement so our nation wouldn’t have to put up with things like that senile 95-year-old rickshaw driver who caused that day-long traffic jam on the highway. Of course, we mustn’t be cruel: we should also provide better pensions for them so they’ll be content in their dotage.”
2. “Our age has nothing to do with the… uh… what was it… the wild ANIMAL hybrids rampaging through CAPITAL!” states bumbling security guard Beth Perez, who didn’t hear the stampede of hybrids escaping the lab due to a malfunctioning hearing aid. “So you people think that just because we’re old, we can’t do our jobs? Well guess what? I’ve seen younger people who are more lazy, inefficient, and more… something than a sloth! Retirement and firing should be based on capabilities, not age!”
3. “Why bother with retirement anyway?” asks Zack Looney, a rather young basket weaving CEO whose employees consist mostly of his aging relatives. “I mean, the only reason it exists is just so old people can laze around doing nothing, right? So why don’t we remove it altogether and make it so that people have to work no matter how old they are? Sure, incidents like that doctor who left his false teeth inside a patient might be more common than before; but that’s the price you have to pay for the sake of productivity.”
