In 1940, if you were a guy, your average life expectancy was ~61 years. If you made it to 65, those people generally lasted until ~77.

In 2001, the average guy can make it ~74 years. If you made it to 65, you can probably live another 15 years (to 80).

What "JC" wants anyone around at 77, or 80? Proles start breaking down. Knee replacements. Hip replacements. Cataract surgery. Open heart surgery, like Wendy, and one of my neighbors had, in their early 70s. And it isn't just the cost of treatment, it's the downtime for recovery. What "JC" will take that "burden"?

What if one of these old phartz has a heart attack in your office or plant? Even if you are "lucky" and they die on the spot, so you aren't "burdened" with treatment and recovery costs, having paramedics running through the plant, trying to save the guy's life, will distract the other Proles. When the other Proles are distracted, they aren't working and making you MONEY.

Even if one old phart is a "super ager", and is still a perfect picture of male vigor and virility, like Trump, they don't have the stamina of someone half their age. If an old phart falls asleep in his office, like Trump, he isn't working and making you MONEY.

If Proles were plow horses, you could put a bullet in their head, and get another one, when their productivity falls off. But the "libs" would probably not like that. So, retirement was invented, to pay the unproductive, high repair cost, old phartz to go away.

What is your solution?
