An Interesting Take on BLM

[kandrathe]

I suspect that's not handouts to seniors. I'd bet that's increasing inequality plus career progression. It doesn't take that many people delaying retirement (presumably after seeing much of their wealth wiped out in 2008) to raise the average income by quite a lot. There's nothing free about that lunch!

Maybe also an increasing number of people are like my 85 year old mom, who walk/jogs for a mile every morning. She's in 10x better shape than her mom at the same age.

When my mom was 85 she had been dead for 39 years.

Her husband has ducked death three times now. He had a mild heart attack with quintuple bypass 20 years ago, then a stroke 12 years ago, then 6 years ago a MRSA in his lower spine. But, they keep fixing him. Tough old coot. He drove up to Minnesota from Texas and kept up with all the great grand kiddos. He's getting his cataracts fixed so he can return to bus driving at 90.
