Donald Trump appeared to describe a dementia screening he underwent at Walter Reed Medical Center as a 'very hard' IQ test while speaking with reporters inside Air Force One
There’s a good deal of variation between people. A manual laborer can’t be expected to work past 65, but many white collar workers are perfectly capable well beyond. Compare Trump to Bernie.
So true. It’s probably why SS is where it is at. It’s fine to be able to draw down SS, but that should not be a metric on how people are forced out of the workforce, either. I was just talking to someone I know who is between jobs, thinking she may be forced to retire, just because she’s 76.
She has multiple recent and relevant certs, recent and relevant experience, has an active mind and is very capable. And yet, thanks to most people in the hiring process being younger than her (and in many cases, very young) she is faced with a lot of ageism. It’s a real shame since she’d be contributing…it’s not like she has to do manual labor.
She said, “I just want to keep working, but I’m not sure I’ll be able to. I may just have to retire even if I don’t want to.” I just shook my head. It’s crazy.
