The fact that some American industries, such as automotive manufacturing, thought they could build vastly inferior products and shame people into "buying American"... exacerbated the problem. |

There are many sides to that story. Some say the real thing that killed manufacturing jobs was automation.

In all honesty though, automation was but one (albeit, probably the biggest) result of consumer/stockholders demands. Last edited by ColdNoMore; 04-10-2018 at 01:40 PM. |

Topic is adjusting to retirement. Let's not let political topics intrude or the thread will be closed.

I've been retired for ten years and have enjoyed every minute. When I retired I loved my job, but was commuting two hours from my lake home (had an apartment near work where I stayed during the week) and wanted to get out of that rut. My kids own a successful healthcare staffing company and gave me a part-time job to allow me to transition to medicare (I still work one day a week for them). The thing that helped me, and that I advise all new retirees, is that I have continued to get up between 5:30 and 6:30 every morning, including weekends. I Shower and shave and get dressed just like I'm going to work even though I may not have anything planned, or I golf early in the morning when in TV. I think, for me, sleeping late and lounging in my PJs would be a concession to age and self-defeating. I am 72, active, and feel great.
