re: #179 lawhawk

Who the fuck wants to work longer because they want to? Seriously. Point out these people. Name names. There are some people who’ll want to work, because it gives structure and gets them out of their houses (when they weren’t forced to WFH due to covid, that is). But it’s a choice to work longer. GOP wants to make that a pre-requisite - to force people to work longer.

Nearly everyone who is working longer is doing so because they *have* to work longer - to maintain health benefits or because they need the money because SS and their retirement benefits are insufficient to cover their costs, which are dominated by health care costs.

Separating health care coverage from employment would allow people to retire earlier and open up job opportunities for younger folks. GOP doesn’t care, because they want to work you to death anyways.

I want to work as long as I am physically able. You want to shame me for hard work? I would rethink what you wrote.
