Japanese male life expectancy is 80.

U.S. college educated white male is ... 80.

I wouldn't sweat the details.

So if I self identify as a Japanese male, I should be able to be hired by the majors without a college education? Makes sense to me. Rotfl

Black Japanese living in America with a Japanese associates degree... Go! I'm guessing 73 years!

Can they check the ‘white’ box?

1999 article said no age longevity difference between Japanese doctors and the general population.

Just because the age will be raised to 67 doesn't mean you have to work until that age, nor does it mean if you work to that age you have to fly 90 hours a month like at SWA.

Personally, given how much you whine, I doubt you'll make it to 60, [EDITED FOR TOS] ��
We don’t have to work to retirement age but the age change certainly affects the buying power of our relative seniority. All those that rose to the top when it was 60 got 5 free years of seniority stolen from those behind them. Now you advocate that the rest of us gladly hand over more of our own relative seniority growth again?

I walked a mile in those shoes with you, I just don't believe it's always about "ME".

Sorry
