This is telling...

Approaching retirement age, but finding themselves without an income, they spend their days in Johnny's house, watching the news and reminiscing about the old days - the days when they were in work.

Damn... All this time I thought the best course of action would be "look for a new job".

BWUAHAHA!

The sky is falling! What a load of BS.
That asshole needs to travel to Afghanistan or someplace and see how real poor people live.

The old men in that article sit in a home and watch TV. Oh, the horror!

Reminds me of another joke.

   I couldnt help but remember this  as I read that.   Wait until theres nowhere to run and the motor is stopped.
That wasnt a work of fiction.  That was a plan.   Steve Fossett is in the gulch with the rest of them, watching the

When the news came out that Reagan's wife was consulting a Fortune Teller, there was a familiar ring to it.  I found it later while re-reading Atlas Shrugged.  The Presidents wife consulting  a Fortune Teller was in one of the news blurbs at the top of each new chapter.

Not to worry, over on the other other forum, one guy is apparently convinced he's actually John Galt.

We were in RI the last two weekends. The kids noted that all the shopping & restaurants on the RI/Mass border are on the Mass side, like NH has all commerce along Vermont, Mass, and Maine. So we assumed that RI laws are even worse than Mass.
