Reply #3: Those who work at physical labor are in even worse shape

[shraby]

as their bodies after age 60 start to fail in one way or another, physically and mentally. That's the age bracket that many cases of demetia or alzheimers begins also. Some of the "senior moments" are more serious. Physical strength begins to wane so the work they are doing is even more challenging with every year that goes by. It's cruel and inhumane to require people to work much past the age of 60 unless they want to and feel capable..and sometimes they feel capable but if you ask the co-workers, you would get a much different answer. Even in sedentary jobs like John McCain as Senator has, he's been slipping a lot lately and should be retired out, but he'd never admit to it.
