They will add penalty clauses that allow them to deny payouts in cases where a pensioner has violated some clause or provision on moral or ethical grounds, determined by some appointed commission.

And that will allow them to cut payments to anyone they deem a subversive, agitator, or malcontent, as determined by them.

Kind of like denying housing to anyone convicted of a crime, then intentionally arresting people on false charges with planted evidence.

Be a part of their club or be bludgeoned by it.
