Oh and let's not forget Ronnie Raygun's words of encouragement to the elderly to work in nuclear power plants. His reasoning? The elderly should work there because they will die before time to tumor.
I'm just trying to imagine how it would go if my mom's shaky hands were at a reactor control panel.
The leaders of the reactionary right (I can't call them conservative because they are not) don't understand the concept of work. Their idea of work is to attend a few meetings then play a round of golf. The blue collar supporters of the party of the reactionary right work their asses off though. The get my respect for that. They have poor judgement on who to follow though when they are told the answer to their financial strain is to just work harder.
@see4 gets it. Learn as much as you can and work smart.
