Not that the idea of not being forced to retire at age 65 will do anything for me, really, seeing as I’m only about… 15 hours and 44 minutes from actually entering the workforce, but it’s nice to know now, when I actually get to be what would ordinarily be considered retirement age, I do actually have the option of *not* retiring. And effective Tuesday, that’ll be the case. I don’t know that it’ll really make a whole lot of difference in the long run, I mean all the important industries (see: doctors etc) already have people who’re working well beyond their retirement age, but now, people like my dad who finally has a job he actually likes, for instance, can retire when they can’t do their job anymore, instead of being told they can’t do their job anymore. File this under it’s about goddamn time. Now, let’s see if we can make it happen federally, eh?
