We should get rid of state pensions. They are a massive drain on younger generations, give false hopes to people that they can comfortably retire at age X when in reality it's just survival mode and it discourages people from saving/investing for their own pension. Society and the economy would be better off if people didn't live their life thinking the state will bail them out if they just hit age X
