1. Yes, I have been blessed to be able to work from home so far.

So many of my friends have not been able to. Those under 65 cannot get medicare so many are without healthcare. This is terrifying!

Yes it is terrifying!

7. Pretty strange, considering that if he really destroys SS nd Medicare,

seniors will have to work until they die.

He and his f**king Soylent Green party must want them to die immediately.

8. About four and a half months to go.

I'm pretty sure I can make it.

9. Ageism is rampant in the job market.

If you are over 50, your chances of finding a new job that pays well are not good. Over 60 and it’s near impossible.

Sad, but if you are over 60 and have lost your job within the last year, you will most likely never again find the level of pay you once enjoyed. Part-time and entry-level jobs will be about it.

10. Yup!

Suicides will skyrocket if putin's party has their way! 🤬

11. Big time Agism issue at play.

Our son being over fifty is not hire-able in his own industry. Sad to say,never thought I would see the day when Retail Grocer's would even go there. I guess if you are a mid level Manager and over 50,your Skill Set is just a POS,they will hire someone off the Street with zero Skill Set just so they find a person with a pulse under the age of 28.


Have a acquaintance with a Auto Immune System Issue,she just had to take a Leave of Absence because of the Stress related to Covid and being a Retail Grocery Person. And this job is essential do to her hubbies Cancer Treatment and Therapy costs. Both being 65+and totally dependent on Social Security,this is a harsh reality. Medicare only covers just so much. And here Gap Insurance eats up most of her Paycheck .
