Lowe’s management fired her because she is 68.
Because of potential healthcare costs. If we had free medical care here in the USA instead of socialized costs would be far less and people could buy their own medical insurance and stay employed as they get older.
I doubt that is true.
I would guess that Lowes is like every other employer and finds it hard to find young employees much less young employees that are as reliable and hardworking as one of this woman’s generation.
