(#6005) With trump making it harder to pay the bills what do we do?

      I am a month short of 70 and already still on payroll 2 days a week. I suspect that I will have to up that 2 days to 3 or more sometime soon. I had already hoped to go to 1 day a week because of the wear on my old frame but that is not even feasible under this current chaos. Let me be clear here. I have worked in very hard labor intensive industries most of my life from residential/commercial framing crews to underground copper mining in the heat of Arizona to logging in the great northwest. I have always been willing to do the hardest parts of the production without batting an eye. But there was a price for my hubris.
     My body is not the same as it was back in my prime. I hurt everywhere now from the wear and tear of going above and beyond the required. Sure, maybe that was my fault for thinking I could do anything but I usually did as a routine so blame me for my physical condition now but when I was producing it was mostly out of fear that I had to be better or I wouldn't be able to keep my needed job. So I pushed the limits of my physicality to the upper limits. Again, after all these decades a cost has come due. I am still fit enough to manage my current work state but honestly I know I cannot go on for too much longer. Yet I most likely won't be able to slow down and instead must speed up.
     I think it is a travesty that we who are past our prime and have added value to our society are now being asked to do more when we are less able because the republicans want to give more to the wealthy. But that isn't the worst of it is it! The trumps of the world want more than to take our golden years from us they want our democracy as well. I do know this, I will do whatever I have to until I cannot do anymore to stop the trumps of the world and secure our democracy and what should be respect for our seniors. Until you are old, you have little idea how much every action of living has some little or big ache or pain attached to it. So our charge is to let you know so that when your time comes for being aged you won't be caught out like we aged are right now!
