| Message | If the sponsors cannot be bothered to argue in favor, we cannot support this nationwide early-retirement mandate. |

| Message | Currently the state provides for universal employment, this allows for people who are worn out at a younger age than the workers who sit behind a desk to receive benefits, thus making this role easier for the state. Again, many workers with very physical jobs simply can not work until 60 as their bodies can not take it. These workers should be able to retire rather than go on disability or find a new profession. |

| Message | On balance we will not support the bill, but we appreciate the reasoned argument in favor. CCC's preferred appropach is to allow communes case-by-case flexibility rather than changing one inflexible mandate for another. OOC: It's fair, I know you can't do that in game but the bill's winning anyway. |
