> You seem to be quite confused about pensions, not only "old people" have pensions. Actually the vast majority of contributions to pensions funds come from people who aren't old at all and are actively employed.

This is exactly how pensions work: newer members to the defined benefits plan pay for older members. This isn't surprising.

> Where would they "scream"? On the internet? And who'd hear them? The answer is nobody in any PE cares about anyone screaming.

At the ballot box. There is a reason that public pensions are exempt from the PBGC reserve ratio requirements. People with pensions aggressively vote their interest.
