Work longer, die earlier

[Spooky 2]

Work longer, die earlier.

It's the American way.

The American work force has never been more productive than it is today. People are living longer these days than ever in the past. We don't need to get into another pissing contest over this as long as we agree that there are "different" opinions regarding this issue.

"An important conclusion from this study is that for every year one works beyond age 55, one loses 2 years of life span on average."

So THAT's why the age 60 thing passed - the big guys realized they won't have to pay those huge pensions for all those extra years by working their aviators into an earlier demise! Maybe our current owner was in on it - he seems to think our 401(k) is a pension.

You just made the list, buddy. Also, I don't like no one touching my stuff. So just keep your meat-hooks off. If I catch any of you guys in my stuff, I'll kill you. And I don't like nobody touching me. Any of you homos touch me, and I'll kill you.

You say that like your CEO's daughter doesn't NEED a silver plated ice fountain for her MTV debut. Face it, the cream rises to the top. Count yourself lucky you've got a job to go to, prole, and get back to work. If you make it to 65, you can rest happy in your underheated hovel waiting for the pension check that isn't coming and die satisfied that you've fulfilled your function for your Betters. Welcome to the new gilded age.

If you guys really need a place, there is spot open next to my van down by the river.

hhmmmmmm, okay. While I will agree there is no "cause and effect" between the two since we are all going to die anyway, you seem to neglect the word "imply" in that phrase. Death and an older age are connected. So you seem to see more death at the older ages but you neglect the direct relationship between the statistical data that seems to "prove" the earlier you retire the later you will die. Sure you can pull out a car accident or shuffleboard puck to the temple as earlier cases of death, but you did not. You just posted a link to a fictional graph and try to make an argument that proves the studies and statistics gathered to show the relationship between early retirement and longevity as being fictional.

Very weak. Try again please.
