Like the Romans used to drink from lead cups. Something like that.

    5 day work week. Always seemed odd to me as a child and now that I’m seeing how broken a lot retirees in their 50s and 60s are it’s pretty clear to me that it’s a terrible idea.

        and no physical activity

        It seems mainly there’s two extremes with the old broken folks they’re talking about:

        Poor health because it’s a sedentary job, or a broken body because they were in construction or something.

          Right, and either way, “working too much” is the basic problem. No one should be sitting at a desk that long, and no one should be doing physical labor that long, either.
