63. I wouldn't be frustrated if this was "the best and final offer"

Dec 2012

But i am pretty sure it won't be. Some times you just have the wrong people when it comes to bargaining and i think this is one of those times. At 54 i plan on tipping over with my working boots on (like my pops) but i do know some people need help as they get older. I don't like moving goal posts that these so called leaders are working on with SS / other and pretty most of my other 'working for living' brethren are probably not going to like it either.

Hand picked leaders don't lead, they just get their hands picked
