It’s a conscious choice to design it as a pyramid scheme - obviously by the generation that seen the greatest benefit.

The base isn’t getting larger - the population and number of net contributors isn’t rising in line with the number extracting money from the system as people live for longer and claim far more in pensions than they claim to have “paid in”.

Until they want to solve this structural problem we will continue to paper over the cracks.
