[QUOTE="greybeard, post: 1646915, member: 18945"] Perspective. :rolleyes: Depending which set of data one looks at....... Living Americans by age group over 70 years of age as of July 2019. 22.6 million and 12.9 million are over 80 yrs of age. [url=https://postimages.org/][img]https://i.postimg.cc/65KkX8HV/age-demographics.jpg[/img][/url] Or: (every one below the black line beat the average according to US census) [url=https://postimages.org/][img]https://i.postimg.cc/FR5wPz8B/agedemographics2.jpg[/img][/url] My own father died about 30 days short of his 90th birthday in 2007. I don't know about anyone else, but I'm very thankful for those 'extra' 10 years I was able to spend with him. It's easy for any of us to say "I'd risk [U]my own life[/U] to allow the economy to get back on track" but how many realistically would say they would risk the lives of their spouse, parents or grandparents, especially considering most of us live in a rural setting and don't really get out in public very much anyway. Go ahead.. Go tell your older family members they should be risked so you can sit in a cafe and shoot the bull with your buddies or go back to work, or increase the chances of the candidate of your choice winning an election. (Keep in mind, that many of that demographic already put [U]everything[/U] at risk when they were (still are) part of "the greatest generation" ) Let us know how that works out for ya. Those old folks can still swing a willow switch. 13 million+ grandparents, aunts, uncles, brothers, sisters, parents, grandparents... Yes, it has been politicized, but definitely on/by both sides.
