Reply to comment by Fantastic_Beans in Research found after six years spent tracking health outcomes among nearly 925,000 Danish seniors, investigators determined that when a man between the ages of 65 and 69 loses his wife he is 70% more likely to die in the year that follows, when compared with his non-widowed peers by Wagamaga

Or, and just hear me out here, find another wife. It shouldn't even be difficult as the number of men between 65-69 is far less than the number of women of the same age group.

Boomers have most of the wealth in the world. If he can't cook he can hire one from his pension.

Reply to comment by GeoGeoGeoGeo in 450 - 440 million years ago a ~50˚ True Polar Wander event swept Gondwana across the South Pole, triggering glaciation and the second most lethal of the “Big Five” mass extinctions, the end-Ordovician mass extinction by GeoGeoGeoGeo

I was basing that on someone else's comment that said it takes 100 million years to shift 61 degrees.

The conspiracy theory back then was that the Earth was too heavy at the south pole and a planetary alignment was going to basically shift all the continents on the planet causing a major catastrophe. Scientists of course refused to comment so as to not panic the public of our impending doom.

Shorting stocks does not take money away from shareholders. In fact it tends to increase stock prices. This is why when governments step in to stop shorting it usually collapses the market. Check Gamestop as a prime example. Gamestop had more shares shorted than actually existed and this resulted in their stock price increasing nearly 100 fold. The CEO became insanely rich as a result.

They are being compensated. It is illegal not to. Now you say, "last I checked they weren't even making $15 per hour" and you'd be right. On paper. But have you seen the cost of food and housing? Noone can afford both on just $15. Yet they survive and have a little left over for snacks. So in reality they are being paid more than you.
