    Just because something is worse somewhere else doesn’t mean you should be happy when things only get slightly worse where you are. They are angry because not only they are historically againt pension reforms, and the way the government forced through the bill by bypassing parliament in a legal method, but one that shows they are really just forcing this down despite popular opinion being very, very against it.

      “Someone else has it worse” is the cry of someone who wants you to have it worse, too. It’s just promoting a race to the bottom.
