Reports are coming out that Social Security is in the red for the first time. Moreover we have watched as social security payments have failed to keep up with inflation. So how can we consider forcing the elderly to retire?
It's one thing if they are unable to do the job,or if we could provide them with a decent standard of living. Health care, food, a home, and enough money left over for them to take a vacation.
Instead I stand on online and watch as an elderly couple places one cucumber (no bag=less weight), a loaf of white bread, and a couple of other essentials on the black conveyor belt, and then attempt to maintain their dignity by emptying a used zip lock bag full of change...Did they choose to work for 40 years acquiring experience and insight, in essence becoming the the most valuable employer, so that later they would have the "right" to retire and scrounge for essentials?
If they are of clear mind and healthy body why should they be required to retire? Especially if social security means collecting change to eat!
No to forced retirement!
