Panama's problems with Social Security reform...
Just got this in an email from my bro, Richard, down in Panama (with the Corps):
Lots of protests in Panama today. The government released their plan to reform Panama's Social Security, which has massive problems. The big thing was an increase in the retirement age by four years. Interestingly, the university students are the biggest protesters. Young people are the ones least immediately affected by a change in the retirement age and are likely to benefit the most by preserving the solvency of the Social Security system. They react to this by lobbing Molotov cocktails at the police. It seems like they just want a reason to act violently. (linkage mine)
Uds. pueden encontrar la legislación proponida aquí. Tal vez escribiré unos posts en español para practicar... ¡Si hay cualquier persona que quisiera que escribiera en español ocasionalmente, dígalo!
