This is subtle BS selling of the socialist agenda. You must be prepared to accept lowered expectations. Be happy with your new lot in life, serf.

Excellent attitude:

“When I lost my job I thought my life was over,” he says. “I didn’t realize it was just the beginning.” He smiles contentedly and declares, “I may have a part-time job, but I have a full-time life.”

It amazes me that some folks don’t put something back for a rainy day.

This guy has a book out which I read. )he's making a few bucks off that too). It was very inspiring and uplifting. His message wasn't socialist, but more of a remaking of oneself at any age.

He found that Starbucks really was about the American dream. His manager was a black woman who worked hard, showed extreme pride in her store and employees and was going places.

Really a great read and a great story.

the then 63-year-old Gill was invited to an early breakfast and was told that he was getting the boot.

At 63, after decades of being a successful professional, he wasn't in a financial position where he could just say "OK, I'm retired", and relax, live off his investments, and maybe teach some college classes (more for something to do than needing the money)?

"...he was abruptly fired. He had created huge campaigns for companies like Christian Dior and Ford..."

OK, I think I might know why he was fired...
