Occupations and specialists - numbers in T2K

[schnickelfritz]

Leg-
I cannot and will not comment on anything outside of what I've seen with my own eyes in the CONUS. I've worked at some of these places and seen some others, both travelling by and on company business with my own eyes. Stillwater, Oklahoma had as of 2006 a large Mercury Marine facility, in addition to Ohklahoma State University, and the town was some distance from Tulsa. This is one example....there are more than a few others throughout the US like this.

I worked with a number of individuals who were able to retire in their early-mid 50's because the retirement plan at our former employer was doing well. I agree that the elderly/infirm may not hold up well in a post TDM environment, but the guys I know are still going strong. Unless you are hooked to a machine of some kind or have life-or-death meds, there's no switch that goes off and kills you necessarily....you may actually survive, even though you are over 50-
