One reason is age discrimination. If you’re over 50 it’s hard finding a job other than walmart greeter.

I’ve seen that via some acquaintances of ours. That type of discrimination has moved them to heavily embracing ocare and a lot of dim talking points.

I thought that was illegal?

Not necessarily. I am nearly sixty and I was offered two jobs on the same day.

The over 50 crowd got hammered with lay-offs. I got laid- off in 2012 and I'm still looking for permanent work in my field.
