Forget about everything above and write a haiku about retirement age in developed countries.

Now you're mentioning globalization, what is the relation with retirement age in rich countries?

It's Falkand now.

I'm not sure how the demographic transition in developing countries relates to retirement age in rich countries.

That's actually funny.

Since 2006, Denmark has tied the official retirement age to life expectancy and has revised it every five years.

What a depressing law. Progress should mean less mandatory work, not more.

Rich countries have highly developed sports infrastructures that allow better detection of talents and training the talents in the best possible conditions. That is probably already enough to explain the difference in results. No need to look for some drug conspiracy. If your city doesn't have the money to build a swimming pool, you'll never have swimming champions from there.

Assuming he's just a middle manager, just express your polite disagreement everytime it makes sense by writing in a way that will cover your butt when shit eventually hits the fan and higher ups step in. If he's the head of the company, maybe you should spend teaching time with him to avoid losing your job when the company fails.

and those who can polate from complete data.

It probably has not happened yet because it could have a big impact on EU inflation. Are EU citizens ready to pay the price or will they vote more for far right populists for every additional euro on the energy bill? I think the citizens not directly facing the danger of Russian invasion are still not motivated enough to push the politicians to act.
See the 2022 energy crisis due to post COVID demand and the Russian invasion. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Global_energy_crisis_(2021%E2%80%932023)

Definitely not. Making food and eating are among my top pleasures, I'm always motivated to do that. So I rather have to be careful to limit my intake when I'm feeling down.

If there's one thing Japan loves, it is economical competition. There are like 40 different ways to pay at a shop, it's absurd.
