Reply #50: Problem with the argument about the average life span being [View All]

shorter back in the 1930s is that, even though we now live longer, a) there are far too few jobs for younger people, much less for older folks; b) we still age. We live longer, but we still become slow, forgetful and nervous. That's why employers are unwilling to hire us. We are very dependable and "wise," but slow. In today's workplace, slow means unprofitable.

Tough, but true.
