Who in their right mind quotes a former president on a serious matter and makes a typo instead of just... copy-pasting that part of the statement to ensure accuracy lol

Journalist decided to re-type the statement instead of copy-pasting. You'll notice the distinct lack of a [sic] tag.

Well, sure. But they don't have time to pay for it or manufacture them right now, because they need to work hard to make sure the current old people get their pensions.

Nothing wrong with the system - if people die young enough and there's enough young people. But a nationalized pension system like most developed countries have is a huge burden once the population ages too much, and the fact that people are regularly living to be over 80 isn't helping it.

There's only 52 weeks in a year

Whilst a lot of CEOs are either not evil, or maybe are just inconsequential (like the CEO of some random startup with 4 employees creating a new app that's like Tinder but for whatever else), there's thousands whose companies are ruining our society and planet.

Though if one were to fall a week, that would maybe at least drive some fear into the others.

Who's paying for it? All the old people going to work?

Are mayo and sour cream based salads not a thing where you come from?

I'll agree they don't deserve to be called salads but they're pretty common here. The OG potato or pasta salads everyone used to make for every occasion of course have no lettuce or cabbage in them, the greenest thing you may find is peas. The least salady salads of them all.

Related to PEBKAC: In Estonian we have a saying: "the problem is in the cardan between the seat and the steering wheel"

Supposedly a fairly eccentric teacher I had (businessman and ex 90s "connected" guy got bored and wanted to teach middle school shop class to confirm the rumors that kids are indeed getting stupider compared to the "good old days") once managed to get an employee of his to go to the parts store to ask for said "cardan" for their car after asking him for advice.
