    Nobody around here offers senior discounts or even a low-cost senior meal anymore. They say they can't afford to and stay in business. I fully understand. Meanwhile, wealthy politicians are getting richer and pushing us old folks toward poverty with rising living prices and increasing our medical costs every year. They hope we all drop dead tomorrow.

    That is what it is called by name' insurance'. We paid into that for over half a century before we qualify for it. I don't know about yall but I went to work at a very young age at a Five and Dime store at 13, we just falsified our age on paper birth certificate. Everyone knew but liked the cheap labor.
    I'm sure boys started even earlier.

    I think that is ridiculous. Tell them your not able. Hope you can get out of it. Ask them how are supposed to concentrate on trial proceedings in pain.

    Sorry you have to deal with this at our age they should not need a Dr. letter. They are really after the young and old now. Where's all the young execs?
