The elderly are well cared for and fully provided for.
They trade on their seniority and can’t do anything.
When there’s work to be done, no one is around.
But when it comes to promotions, lots of people suddenly appear to grab the spots;
put bluntly, it’s just working for those old-timers
so they can enjoy their retirement
and live comfortably;
anyone capable is driven out by every possible means
so the old-timers won’t be pushed out.
