I wonder what happened to the idea that investment comes with risk and pensions were risk-free. Why are investors now being recompensed and retirees being docked?

Because powerful people started to rely on risk-free investments and had the power to try to bring it about when it started to fail on its own? Incentive and all that.

Obviously, retirees are just a bunch of freeloaders who want something for nothing.

Oh, wait...
