  1. A guy who pushed papers and presses buttons and makes money by robbing workers and investors’ perspective on a work day is nothing like a guy who lumps furniture for a living. When I was in college I worked a summer job with a guy in his late 50s who was moving furniture and a guy in his early 70s who was still moving furniture. They are both dead. Neither of them ever retired. My father died 3 months shy of age 64. He worked up until he got cancer. He started working when he was 12. He earned a military retirement he never collected which my mother gets. He earned a federal civilian employee retirement which he collected for about 10 years while he continued to work full time at another job. My dad was a mechanic most of his adulthood, but did construction and ran a hydro dam. That is actually tough work keeping ice out of the racks in the winter and keeping debris out of the dam. Also fixing part on in when needed is not easy. If that guy was out freezing his balls off chopping ice from a power dam at 63 he wouldn’t have wanted to keep working until he died. If he was lugging a baby grand piano up a flight is stairs with 6 other guys which the 70 something guy did with me more than 20 years ago he would not want to do that on a 90 degree day with 100% humidity either. The fact that those people who worked that hard are broke at the end of their lives and that rich prick wants to keep working and thinks it is great makes me understand the movie Falling Down a lot better than I did when I was a kid.
