6. Fuck no! I am NOT going back into the workforce!

Now that my husband has passed, he made sure I was able to live comfortably for the rest of my life, continue on with my Custom Sewing/Alterations business, etc. At 73, I have NO plans to re-enter the work force. I am in relatively good health with some vision issues that prevent me from driving. I watch what I eat, exercise, watch what I spend, etc. Mine and my late husband's SS and Medicare were earned from our respective working days.

Nor do I doubt that Seniors are anxious to re-enter the work force, given many have health issues that prevent them from working. Could it be the shitty, low paying jobs immigrants were doing are now open and need to be filled as ICE finds people and deports them without due process?

Inquiring minds would like to know.
