Off the couch, you old lazy bums!


Enough with the golden pensions, eternal brunches, and cruises at the expense of the youth. Marcel Fratzscher, president of the DIW, has finally said what has long been overdue: No more loafing around! Retirees to the front lines!



For years, the elderly have been dumping the entire burden onto the shoulders of the young. Pension funds? Filled. Health insurance? Drained. Real estate market? Blocked. And then complaining about “too loud music” and “those wicked youngsters.” Meanwhile, the young are paying rising social contributions, tackling the consequences of climate change, and already preparing for the next war. But while the young are toiling, the old are lounging on the couch, downing their third schnapps in the morning, and getting their toenails painted in the retirement home.

That ends now. Fratzscher wants a mandatory social year for retirees. Absolutely right! Off to caregiving – take care of the even older folks who are pinching the last coins from you during Skat in the nursing home. Or head straight into arms production: polishing tanks, soldering drones, threading belts of ammunition. Germany needs labor, not a cruise company.

And why not go all in? Anyone still fit enough can be useful in the Bundeswehr. Served in the military before? Wonderful! Get behind the console for drone control or serve as cannon fodder on the front lines. One thing is clear: the next war with Russia cannot be shouldered by the young alone. That’s where you, the “Best Agers,” come in.

This is no joke. Politics wants it this way. The dearly loved leaders say so. And the “new generational contract” means nothing other than: retirees to the shovel, to the workbench, to the front line, or into caregiving. So rise from your armchair, put down the remote, and into Volkssturm 2.0.

Because – as we are constantly reminded – it’s all about protecting this “our democracy.”

DIW President Fratzscher demands a “mandatory social year for retirees”
