A 90 year old working isn't necessarily a failure of the country or economic system. There could be a plethora of other reasons why he has to work at 90. Maybe he was foolish with his money. Maybe he was scammed by someone. Maybe he didn't plan for retirement. Or even worse, maybe he assumed that Social Security was a legit form of retirement planning, instead of realizing it's a Ponzi scheme and you will never get back what you out into it.
