Wouldn't be surprised if same/similar move will be met with same opposition in the US. Macron may not survive the no confidence.

I have not seen anything that says how this will be implemented. I think it is inevitable that the retirement age will rise here. I am interested in the plan that Nikki Haley proposed where people entering the workforce in say 2025 and after have their retirement age changed. Telling someone that planned on retiring in say October that they have to work another two is not going the way to go imo.
