It really varies from country to country so it's hard to generalize. Just like I had a completely different experience in CA than I had in PA.

I don't think there's a lot of moral posturing with the people though. That's just the EU leadership. These are unelected bureaucrats. I think most Europeans are pro-trade, pro-peace, pro-growth. Just, if you've worked for 35 years under the promise that that's it and then you can chill, then it's fucked up to break that promise.

In my (now EU) birth country they did address this mostly and if I were to still be a resident there, my pension age would be 69, barring any future updates, which are always possible.
