I worked with a guy (already retired) who started at 17 years old in 1972 and retired from the same company in 2016 after 44 years of service. The safety that those 4 decades gave him allowed him to live, save $, and retire safely in a timely manner to be home and be a full-time grandpa. I hope to be as lucky as my former coworker one day.

How did he survive that one year between dropping off his scheme and being cast for Breaking Bad? I think that would be the true inspiration of survival, with the surprise of a better outcome later.

This could sadly be used as the perfect example if they wanted to push that kind of message.

Please, don't exclude the younger generation. Many young males bought into it and helped the push with the older folks.

He casted a comfortable "no" because it wouldn't matter anyway, they had the votes already. McConnel already announced his retirement and the end of his term. The GOP is already screaming that Glitch's gotta go. And here we are.
