A recent post pointing out that DU has a rather smart base of members has me wondering-- [View all]
What do we all do for our livelihoods?
I am a home designer/builder.
I own a construction company that designs and builds custom homes. We have a wood shop where we build doors, cabinets, furniture, reproduction pieces, and whatever else would be required by our clients.

It amazes me that virtually everyone responding is retarde....I mean retired.  Is that what they call it now when they are "currently unemployed"?

Ah, the infamously self-described "smartest message board on the planet".   :rotf: :mental: :rofl:

Which proves the DUmp is inhabited by old hippies who want their 1960's back..

He's selling himself short.  He didn't even mention his photographic memory, his verbatim recollections of political conversations with patients.

I think it would be more like a monologue or a rant, as it is hard to have a conversation when someone has their hand in your mouth. :-)

You're right!  Everyone on that thread is retired!  What, you don't do ANYTHING at all, anymore, except bitch on internet boards?  Go back to work as anything.  It's good for the soul.

I agree, I'm not that close to retirement age yet, but I cant imagine I would ever fully retire unless I was just physically unable to get out of bed anymore.  Once you fully retire, death can't be far behind.

Oh, I dunno, if I could retire early and piddle around with farming and investing I'd be one happy camper

If you're piddling, your still working.  As long as you have a reason to get out of bed every morning and get some things done your not really retired all the way.

It's pretty great, actually.  Lots of screwing around in the shop/art area, lots of farm/house projects on the to-do list, and some occasional hunting, fishing, and foraging.  Also spending time with my BFF aka wife.

Aw, this is disappointing.  I was hoping it was going to be another thread about who has the highest IQ where they all sit around their keyboards lying to each other and when they see someone post a number higher than the one they posted for them self, they claim they made a typo and reenter a larger number.   :rotf:

They claim to have had these careers, but when you read their worldviews, they have the intellect of one who is a mentally challenged 10 year old.

Bitching and spreading hate on the internet is their occupation.  :thatsright:

They have no soul, that's what makes them ligs & progressives that are full of hate.

Ok, I went over there and just looked around.  You're right, they all seem to be retired, but I notice some of them say they are retired due to medical reasons.  This brings up another question; how many of them are on the disability gravy train vs how many of them retired due to age?

Inquiring minds want to know!

I'd say quite a few.  They were trading ways a few years ago on how to file for social security disability once their 99 weeks of unemployment ran out and the different very weird maladies they had that prevented them from being a useful member of society and how to get a doctor to sign off on it.
