TOO OLD TO WORK

The European Court of Justice has ruled that a mandatory retirement age can be enforced:

"National legislation may provide, in a general manner, that this kind of difference of treatment on grounds of age is justified if it is a proportionate means to achieve a legitimate social policy objective related to employment policy, the labour market or vocational training," the ECJ ruled.

Why not decree a mandatory check-out age for the oldies, so they stop contributing to global warming? You know, for the broader good.
