We still have debtors prisons too.

There are people who's only fault is outliving usefulness at a job. Let go for someone younger, cheaper to hire. Or a job of many years is now moved out of state leaving them unemployed. No retirement due to the implement of the 401K only retirement plans and it's rules. Or the company out right using bankruptcy laws to walk away from responsibilities. After raiding the fund through loop holes for bonuses for upper management.

That now they can only find a minimum wage part time job without insurance. Not many people will hire someone over 55 into a good paying job around these parts. Use the insurance forms they will fill out to eliminate ones with illnesses.

You think all of the older employees you see at Wally World and MceeD's are bored?

I'd be very interested in some substantial, verifiable support for your contention. It almost seems to me that you don't really believe that which you spout...that you just enjoy flinging mudbombs for the sake of flinging.

As the old saying goes..."put your money where your mouth is". It's either that or "Don't let your mouth issue a check your ass can't cash."'

Curious minds await edification.
