Retiring in your 60s is becoming an impossible goal. Is 75 the new 65?


https://www.bbc.com/worklife/article/20 ... e-65-to-75

Everyone wants to keep working. Love the alarm. The workplace stress. Republucans know this. Mich knows it.

full retirement age is 67.

if you work hard. put a little thought in it. You can absolutely retire at 67. And enjoy whatever is next.

I work pretty damn hard, I'm fairly certain I'm not going to be able to retire at 67...

It must really pain Mich to brag about how set he is for retirement, while knowing that 12 of the last 16 years of his “wealth” was acquired with Dems in the Whitehouse.

In an analysis of the more than 1,400 lethal injection executions conducted in the U.S. since 1982, researchers for the nonprofit Reprieve reported that states made significantly more mistakes during the executions of Black people than they did with prisoners of other races.

Reprieve, which advocates against the death penalty, found that nationwide, half of the botched lethal injection executions were of Black people, though only a third of the prisoners executed were Black. The pattern was starkest in some Southern states. In Arkansas, Oklahoma and Georgia, three quarters or more of the botched lethal injection executions were of Black people, though they accounted only for a third or less of executions in those states...

John Oliver did a recent bit on a major issue with lethal injections, specifically the acquisition and use of pentobarbital

might as well go back to hangings and firing squads

One of the tired arguments the execution-horny will give you is the taxpayer cost of incarcerating people for decades.

Those people never seem to consider how enormously expensive (particularly in costs of litigation) it is to conduct executions in the first place!

And there are a number of layers of additional appeals that exist solely for death penalty cases not to mention a higher cost of housing for Death Row inmates than for general population inmates.

https://www.cato.org/blog/financial-imp ... t%20parole.

"In the 32 states in the Union where the death penalty is legal, as well as the federal government, the death penalty has grown to be much more expensive than life imprisonment, whether with or without parole. This greater cost comes from more expensive living conditions, a much more extensive legal process, and increasing resistance to the death penalty from chemical manufacturers overseas. These costs could even become higher, pending the outcome of various lawsuits against various states for their “botched” executions. Each death penalty inmate is approximately $1.12 million (2015 USD) more than a general population inmate."

Shogun has a very efficient method. it requires two people. they leave no doubt about it.

I mean, that's dark. But, it's not the worst idea I've heard. Lord of the Flies style.

Serious question, does he make it one night in the woods? Even if you spot him temperatures not dropping below 50 degrees?
