  Speaker 1: You're listening to bill Handle on demand from KFI AM
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: six forty.
• 0:12
  Speaker 2: Five AM six forty bill Handle here, good morning. It
• 0:17
  Speaker 2: is a May eighth, a Friday, a foody Friday. As
• 0:23
  Speaker 2: we continue on with the show, and we've got Foody
• 0:26
  Speaker 2: Friday at eight o'clock and then at the bottom of
• 0:28
  Speaker 2: the eight o'clock hour, it's ass Candle anything, which is
• 0:31
  Speaker 2: always fun. Now, a major story that's going around the
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: world is the hantavirus story aboard that cruise ship m
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: V Hondias.
• 0:43
  Speaker 3: And it's a.
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: Hauland based ship, very small one hundred and something. Passengers
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: were used to seeing these mega mega ships that ply
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: the Caribbean, imply the Mediterranean, that have thousands of passengers
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: on them. This is very small ship which tend they
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: tend to be a lot more expensive and they go
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: into places where these major cruise ships don't go to.
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: And this one was leaving Ushuaia, Argentina. And a little
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: bit of explanation of this ship, and that is it
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: was a transatlantic crossing, but not just transatlantic New York
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: Southampton for example, New York to England. It was a
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: ship that went from South America all the way up
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: and the ostensible. The next place it was going to
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: go to was Cape Verdi, and it stopped the various islands.
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: Probably the most interesting island I think it stopped at
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: was Saint Helena, and that's where Napoleon died, by the way,
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: when he was in exile the second time out. And
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: that's a little bit of history. I thought i'd share
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: with you that if you ever get asked on Jeopardy,
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: you'll know the answer to that. And so this is
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: a ship that went across the Atlantic, very few passengers,
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: and you now have they discovered hantavirus boarded one hundred
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: and forty seven passengers and staff aboard this cruise ship
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: and the outbreak of hauntavirus happened. Three people are now dead,
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: several other severely ill. One is Several of those people
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: are California residents, and California public Health officials say they
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: are monitoring the situation after being notified by the CDC
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: that some state residents. California residents were passengers on the ship.
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: They were taken off the ship and we really don't
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: know what their status is. There trying when any of
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: this happens, they go backwards and find out where people
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: were who was in contact to those people. Some of
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: these diseases you have someone going through an airport and
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: contacting thousands of people. This one is a little bit
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: easier in that the number is very small and there
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: are only so many places they can go to. But
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: you're still talking across several continents, to say the least. Now,
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: the haunt of virus, I'm going to tell you a
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: little bit about it is. Jim Kinney told us the
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: Andes virus, and there's a bundle of haunt of viruses
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: found in South America and the Hondias.
• 3:31
  Speaker 3: The ship was on a.
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: Forty six day journey from Antarctica with stops in Argentina.
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: They had their last their last port was in Argentina,
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: washa Oshawaya. That's where you go to Antarctica, and that's
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: the southernmost sort of major city at the tip of
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: South America, about fifty thousand residents.
• 3:55
  Speaker 3: And now this was human to human transmission.
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: So first someone has to be infected, and where to
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: get infection, well, contaminated particles from rats, either rats, urine, rats, feces,
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: and that's where this comes from, which is why when
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: hauntavirus broke out in the United States, it was very
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: healthy runners that would run out in open fields and
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: they got haunted virus. They couldn't figure out why, I'm
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: never going to get haunted virus because I do not
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: run out at open fields and there's relatively little hauntavirus
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: on the couch that I sit on every single day
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: and watch TV. So one hundred and fourteen guests boarded
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: the cruise ship in Ushuaia, Argentina, then off they went
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: to Antarctica, and then twenty three days later, thirty passengers,
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: including six from the US, disembarked on that stop in
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: Saint Helena. And now it looked like this virus had
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: taken hold where you had people that we're very sick.
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: One of the things about hantavirus is thirty to forty
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: percent death rate, a mortality rate that is very serious,
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: serious stuff. Okay, so what's the story here, Well, the
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: story is it really isn't much of a story in reality.
• 5:23
  Speaker 3: Is there a danger? No? No.
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: Since nineteen ninety three, we're talking maybe four hundred cases,
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: and I think worldwide that was reported. The chances of
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: a coming to the United States is very low, I mean,
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: and the only way it is passed from person to
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: person is very close quarters. I mean you've got to
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: be on top of someone virtually on a ship's cabin,
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: for example, a really tiny little room where you're there
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: all day, and then you have or you're stopping somebody
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: and you get pretty close contact. Or you're a medical
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: person that is treating someone with huntavirus and you're really close.
• 6:06
  Speaker 3: One of the doctors, incidentally, was was sick.
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: One of the treating doctors was sick, and another doctor
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: was brought aboard. So right now the ship Cape Verdie
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: wouldn't let the ship disembark, and now they're in the
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: going off to I believe the Canary Islands, which belonged
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: to Spain.
• 6:25
  Speaker 3: And just one.
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: Quick story, the ship's doctor who got sick. I was
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: on a trip to Antarctica. That's a bucket list thing.
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: And there was a guy on the ship who had
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: a heart attack and that was no fun. So the
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: ship's doctors are doctors who get to go on the
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: ship for free if they are the doctor on the ship.
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: They are not hired by the ship per se. They're
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: not employees. So doctors apply, they get a trip for
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: them several months. But you bring a family aboard and
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: at all of this free stuff. So doctors are pretty
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: neat and they get him from various various specialties. So
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: this guy had a heart attack, and it turned out
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: that the doctor who was on the ship, who was
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: a ship's doctor during the cruise, was a cardiologist. You
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: talk about you talk about luck, and he brings his
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: own medicine with him. Not only did they have the
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: ship's medicines, but because he's card cardiologist, he brought his own.
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: So everybody was sweating bullets that we weren't going to
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: land on the peninsula, and everybody was very depressed because
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: what can you do. And you pay insane amounts of
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: money to go to Antarctica. It's one of the most
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: expensive trips out there. And everybody was walking around morose, depressed,
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: and there's not much you can do about it. The
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: guy had a heart attack, you know, what do you do?
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: And they couldn't get him off Antarctica. They couldn't get
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: him off. Everything was locked in. You had there was
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: storms were coming in. You've got clouds that come in
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: and you can't take off right.
• 8:11
  Speaker 3: It's a lockdown.
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: So here we are two three days just floating around
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: and back and forth to France. It was he the
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: cardiologist is talking and it turned out that he was
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: doing everything he possibly could. He couldn't get any better
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: care if he was taken off the peninsula, take off
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: the Antarctic peninsula. So we were able to go back,
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: and I just wanted to that share. We wish that
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: story with you because the ship's doctor they talk about
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: is not a pulmonologist.
• 8:43
  Speaker 3: He's just a doctor.
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: So you talk about luck, let me tell you how
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: happy we were with this guy.
• 8:50
  Speaker 3: He had a heart attack. How rude? How rude? Do
• 8:53
  Speaker 3: you have a heart attack on our trip? Don't ever
• 8:56
  Speaker 3: do that again. Then he had broken ribs because people
• 8:59
  Speaker 3: were kicking him, and there were all kinds of issues,
• 9:03
  Speaker 3: all right.
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: Something I brought up earlier this morning that no matter
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: what side of the political spectrum spectrum you are on,
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: you have to be in lockstep with the philosophy of
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: that particular side of the coin. For example, the conservative side, right,
• 9:24
  Speaker 2: the basic conservative, particularly the MAGA people, more so than
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: anything else.
• 9:29
  Speaker 3: And that is you have to view.
• 9:30
  Speaker 2: Our anti abortion, you are pro business, you are anti immigration,
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: and I just go down the list your pro Second Amendment.
• 9:40
  Speaker 2: You can't be a conservative and believe in gun and control.
• 9:44
  Speaker 3: You can't do it.
• 9:45
  Speaker 2: You can't be a liberal and for example, not believe
• 9:50
  Speaker 2: in abortion right. You can't be a liberal and say
• 9:54
  Speaker 2: our border should be open, or there should be a
• 9:57
  Speaker 2: looser enforcement of the border and everything else. You're liberal
• 10:03
  Speaker 2: because if you're not in lockstep, something is dreadfully wrong
• 10:06
  Speaker 2: with you. So here's another one, and that is the
• 10:11
  Speaker 2: US government under Donald Trump is in lockstep with the
• 10:15
  Speaker 2: philosophy of the far right, and one of those being
• 10:19
  Speaker 2: the Second Amendment NRA position.
• 10:22
  Speaker 3: Now, Donald Trump has never.
• 10:24
  Speaker 2: Been I think an issue with Second Amendment for him
• 10:27
  Speaker 2: and just didn't care. However, now because his base cares,
• 10:33
  Speaker 2: he cares because once again he's in lockstep as well
• 10:36
  Speaker 2: as everybody else. So here is a rule, a proposed
• 10:41
  Speaker 2: rule by the FEDS that the United States Postal Service
• 10:45
  Speaker 2: the USPS, could begin mailing handguns if a proposed rule
• 10:51
  Speaker 2: from the Trump administration receives approval oi it was filed
• 10:54
  Speaker 2: last month, would allow Americans to mail concealable guns, pistols,
• 10:58
  Speaker 2: revolvers to anyone in the country, similar to mailing long
• 11:03
  Speaker 2: barreled rifles and shotguns, which required them to be unloaded
• 11:08
  Speaker 2: securely packaged, and you can send them. They're saying the
• 11:11
  Speaker 2: same thing now about guns handguns. Now, if you can
• 11:16
  Speaker 2: send rifles, should you be able to send handguns? Well,
• 11:21
  Speaker 2: you happened to if you listen to me, you know,
• 11:23
  Speaker 2: I happen to be one of those people that I
• 11:26
  Speaker 2: believe in enforcement of the border, and I also believe
• 11:29
  Speaker 2: that guns should not be open.
• 11:31
  Speaker 3: It should not be open to everybody. It's just that simple.
• 11:35
  Speaker 2: So I'm kind of weird that the far right hates
• 11:39
  Speaker 2: me and the far left hates me. So that's a
• 11:42
  Speaker 2: good place to be when you're a talk show host. Now,
• 11:45
  Speaker 2: handguns have been banned from being mailed all the way
• 11:49
  Speaker 2: since nineteen twenty seven, unless they come from a licensed dealer.
• 11:55
  Speaker 2: The Department of Justice has called the law against mailing
• 11:58
  Speaker 2: handguns unconstantutional as it applies to constitutionally protected firearms, including handguns,
• 12:07
  Speaker 2: because it serves a legitimate or illegitimate purpose.
• 12:12
  Speaker 3: And here is the word that.
• 12:15
  Speaker 2: Is used like crazy, because law abiding gun owners should
• 12:21
  Speaker 2: be able to have access to guns. The fact that
• 12:26
  Speaker 2: we're getting school shootings and post office way you ain't
• 12:31
  Speaker 2: got in post office shooting is very odd recently, so
• 12:34
  Speaker 2: people don't go postal anymore, but certainly shopping centers, supermarkets,
• 12:41
  Speaker 2: and just government buildings.
• 12:42
  Speaker 3: The shootings are every day. They're ubiquitous.
• 12:45
  Speaker 2: I don't know how many mass shootings already happened this year,
• 12:48
  Speaker 2: but it's already in the hundreds. But you go after
• 12:51
  Speaker 2: them because they're all mentally ill, the people that shoot
• 12:53
  Speaker 2: everything up. And that is the answer. Everybody who's mentally
• 12:57
  Speaker 2: ill should be treated as if how many people are
• 13:00
  Speaker 2: not mentally ill in this country? Is that an answer?
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: No?
• 13:05
  Speaker 2: So the easiest way is to ban guns certain way
• 13:08
  Speaker 2: in certain ways, and in this case, the mailing of guns.
• 13:11
  Speaker 2: This law has been on the books since or this
• 13:13
  Speaker 2: policy since nineteen twenty seven. But anything related to loosening
• 13:18
  Speaker 2: gun restrictions is unconstitutional, and it's pushed by the Trump administration,
• 13:24
  Speaker 2: where the Biden administration went the other way. So if
• 13:30
  Speaker 2: you are a if you are a hard supporter of
• 13:36
  Speaker 2: President Trump, then you are against gun restrictions. Then you
• 13:39
  Speaker 2: are in favor of immigration, you are against social programs,
• 13:44
  Speaker 2: you are in favor of business, you are against alternative energy.
• 13:49
  Speaker 2: You have to be in lockstep. You have to be
• 13:53
  Speaker 2: or you're in trouble from your own base. Be it
• 13:58
  Speaker 2: the left liberal. They're not liberal anymore, They're progressive. The
• 14:02
  Speaker 2: word liberal has.
• 14:03
  Speaker 3: Now become the F bomb in the world of politics.
• 14:08
  Speaker 2: Conservative is still conservative. Okay, Neil, you have a Dodger mentioned.
• 14:14
  Speaker 4: Indeed, Tonight is Megal Rojas Game seven home run bobble
• 14:18
  Speaker 4: Head Night. Your official home for Dodger baseball is AM
• 14:22
  Speaker 4: five seventy LA Sports. Tonight, the Dodgers take on the
• 14:26
  Speaker 4: Braves with first pitch at seven. Listen to A five
• 14:29
  Speaker 4: seventy LA Sports and streaming on the iHeartRadio app live
• 14:34
  Speaker 4: from the galpin Ford Broadcast booth.
• 14:37
  Speaker 2: You know, we should ask the powers that be here
• 14:39
  Speaker 2: at the station for us to get a what I'd
• 14:43
  Speaker 2: call a babblehead because of what the show is about.
• 14:47
  Speaker 3: You talk so much, yes, exactly, and so lucidly.
• 14:51
  Speaker 2: I might add, all right, US jobs The report just
• 14:55
  Speaker 2: came out. US added one hundred and fifteen thousand jobs
• 14:59
  Speaker 2: in April, more more than was estimated. And so here's
• 15:03
  Speaker 2: some cautious optimism. Now, a lot of people don't understand
• 15:08
  Speaker 2: what's going on. I certainly don't why. Well, hiring is
• 15:12
  Speaker 2: still going up even as oil prices have exploded.
• 15:17
  Speaker 3: The Iran War.
• 15:19
  Speaker 2: Which makes the economy, which makes the market shake and
• 15:22
  Speaker 2: going what the hell is going on?
• 15:23
  Speaker 3: Because stability is critical.
• 15:25
  Speaker 2: The AI adoption across businesses just roiling the market, and
• 15:32
  Speaker 2: yet employment came in, and so it looks like at
• 15:38
  Speaker 2: least hiring is stronger in twenty twenty six than it
• 15:42
  Speaker 2: was last year. And that was before AI took over,
• 15:45
  Speaker 2: like it did before the war in Iran, before oil
• 15:49
  Speaker 2: prices went crazy, before inflation really ramped up, and what's
• 15:54
  Speaker 2: going on?
• 15:56
  Speaker 3: And so yeah, they're trying to figure out.
• 16:00
  Speaker 2: It goes to show you how you can't guess the market.
• 16:02
  Speaker 2: So where did the jobs come from? Well, healthcare you've
• 16:08
  Speaker 2: got that, transportation, warehousing arose by thirty thousand, Retail added
• 16:13
  Speaker 2: twenty two thousand, the social assistance sector at a seventeen thousand.
• 16:17
  Speaker 2: I thought it'd be a lot more than that. Federal
• 16:20
  Speaker 2: government employment declined again because of the Trump administration cutting
• 16:24
  Speaker 2: federal jobs and trying to cut the deficit.
• 16:27
  Speaker 3: And it turns out that.
• 16:29
  Speaker 2: What we've been saying, your ability to land a job
• 16:33
  Speaker 2: depends on your the industry, skills and locations and location.
• 16:39
  Speaker 2: So you've got places like California and Washington more workers
• 16:42
  Speaker 2: than job openings, a lot of unemployment here.
• 16:46
  Speaker 3: North Dakota. South Dakota faced worker shortages because.
• 16:51
  Speaker 2: People don't want to live in the snow and they're
• 16:53
  Speaker 2: not particularly fond of moose steaks. The problem is that
• 16:59
  Speaker 2: I don't know what's going on, and I think it's
• 17:04
  Speaker 2: well since AI business that's really screwing everything up.
• 17:08
  Speaker 3: Because oil will drop.
• 17:10
  Speaker 2: I mean, there's no question once the strait is open
• 17:12
  Speaker 2: and we go back to where we were now, we're
• 17:14
  Speaker 2: not going to be going back pre pandemic prices.
• 17:17
  Speaker 3: That's probably not going to happen again. That's what the
• 17:18
  Speaker 3: economists are telling us.
• 17:20
  Speaker 2: But oil will drop substantially, Inflation will drop because that
• 17:26
  Speaker 2: goes up and down. The loss of jobs because of
• 17:30
  Speaker 2: AI that is not going to drop. That is exploding
• 17:35
  Speaker 2: like crazy, and the economy is going to be very,
• 17:39
  Speaker 2: very different. One of the things that we as baby
• 17:43
  Speaker 2: boomers are getting blamed for is we have taken all
• 17:48
  Speaker 2: the advantage of the market up to this point. We
• 17:53
  Speaker 2: have been able to buy houses, for example, and there's
• 17:56
  Speaker 2: no young person that can afford a house on his
• 17:59
  Speaker 2: or her own. Any can't do it. I bought up
• 18:01
  Speaker 2: my first house in my twenties. Try doing that you
• 18:05
  Speaker 2: the great jobs. Well, there are people stay at their jobs.
• 18:10
  Speaker 2: I'm going to do a story in a few minutes
• 18:11
  Speaker 2: about if you're fired from retirement, you're coming back. Lindsey
• 18:18
  Speaker 2: is always screaming at me before about I've taken away
• 18:23
  Speaker 2: my generation has taken away all the benefits that society
• 18:27
  Speaker 2: has to offer, and we fight about it, and.
• 18:31
  Speaker 3: I said, listen, you know, wait until you graduate.
• 18:34
  Speaker 2: High school before you really get into this argument with me.
• 18:39
  Speaker 3: She's a couple of years younger than I am, as
• 18:40
  Speaker 3: you may know.
• 18:43
  Speaker 2: So AI is going to be a big topic of
• 18:46
  Speaker 2: conversation as well as job skills education, AI taking over
• 18:54
  Speaker 2: virtually everything. My daughter has a degree, as I've explained
• 18:57
  Speaker 2: many times, has a degree in computer sciences and she
• 19:01
  Speaker 2: works in a bakery and she bakes cookies and cakes.
• 19:08
  Speaker 3: It's depressing.
• 19:10
  Speaker 2: What how many years ago if you walked out the
• 19:12
  Speaker 2: door with a degree in computer engineering, did you walk
• 19:15
  Speaker 2: into a job and then you could double your salary
• 19:18
  Speaker 2: walking two blocks down the street to the next employment,
• 19:21
  Speaker 2: to the next company. Boy, those days are gone. Okay,
• 19:25
  Speaker 2: now you're fired from retirement. It's a story that we've
• 19:30
  Speaker 2: talked about and you probably know about that, and That
• 19:32
  Speaker 2: is where we used to see people who were at
• 19:37
  Speaker 2: Walmart as greeters. Many cases we'd say they just are bored,
• 19:42
  Speaker 2: they want to go back to work, and that's the case,
• 19:44
  Speaker 2: but the majority do it because they need the money.
• 19:47
  Speaker 3: They need the money.
• 19:49
  Speaker 2: They retired and they've come back from retirement, and that
• 19:55
  Speaker 2: is depressing, I mean legitimately. So I joke a lot
• 19:57
  Speaker 2: about your life is miserable and on Joe too much
• 20:00
  Speaker 2: about it. But it turns out that this is a
• 20:04
  Speaker 2: real problem. There's story in the New York Times about
• 20:07
  Speaker 2: this woman, Pat Archer, who retired and had a great job.
• 20:11
  Speaker 3: She was at.
• 20:11
  Speaker 2: Sylvana Sylvania Lighting manufacturing company, and she retired in twenty twenty.
• 20:19
  Speaker 2: You know, she and her husband twenty two hundred dollars
• 20:21
  Speaker 2: a month of so security, a small pension, and she
• 20:24
  Speaker 2: thought I'd be able to do it well. Paying bills
• 20:27
  Speaker 2: have become very stressful. Medicare covers only a portion of
• 20:30
  Speaker 2: her diabetic medication. Groceries, gas, Internet keep getting more important.
• 20:36
  Speaker 2: Her husband has some physical constraints, so no travel, no vacations,
• 20:40
  Speaker 2: which used to be used to have a whole lot
• 20:43
  Speaker 2: of keeping a close watch of spending. And the number
• 20:47
  Speaker 2: of older Americans who have retired, not stay working, but
• 20:52
  Speaker 2: have retired and come back is growing.
• 20:55
  Speaker 3: Remember that story. I think Amy did it.
• 20:57
  Speaker 2: A seventy eight year old Tennessee man delivering for DoorDash
• 21:01
  Speaker 2: because he needed the money, and a go fundme campaign
• 21:05
  Speaker 2: was started and I think one hundred and seventy thousand
• 21:07
  Speaker 2: dollars or something came in. Thirty seven percent of Americans
• 21:10
  Speaker 2: over fifty five are in the workforce unretired and they tried,
• 21:16
  Speaker 2: but they couldn't leave the daily grind.
• 21:19
  Speaker 3: They had to come back.
• 21:20
  Speaker 2: And the largest single reason is I said, is financial
• 21:25
  Speaker 2: where people simply have to go back to work and
• 21:27
  Speaker 2: it don't make a lot of money because you're not
• 21:29
  Speaker 2: going to get a job at what you had in
• 21:32
  Speaker 2: your skill levels. So you're going to get a very
• 21:34
  Speaker 2: low end job for the most part. But that's enough
• 21:37
  Speaker 2: to put you over the top. Making twenty dollars an
• 21:39
  Speaker 2: hour gives you another thirty thousand dollars a year, but
• 21:41
  Speaker 2: that's full time.
• 21:42
  Speaker 3: But even another ten.
• 21:43
  Speaker 2: Thousand dollars a year or twelve thousand dollars a year,
• 21:46
  Speaker 2: that makes a big difference. Now there is one set
• 21:50
  Speaker 2: of statistics. I mean, you knew all this this is
• 21:53
  Speaker 2: a pref a preface, preface as to who is involved
• 22:00
  Speaker 2: in this.
• 22:01
  Speaker 3: This is surprising.
• 22:03
  Speaker 2: Okay, people in the unretired group tended to be non white, Okay,
• 22:08
  Speaker 2: live in multi general households. Okay, have more education. Those
• 22:15
  Speaker 2: who have more education go back and are unretired. Forty
• 22:23
  Speaker 2: four percent had a bachelor's degree that were unretired, as
• 22:27
  Speaker 2: opposed to thirty seven percent who remain retired who remained retired.
• 22:31
  Speaker 2: In other words, the more education you have, the more
• 22:35
  Speaker 2: you have to unretire. That is a stat that I
• 22:39
  Speaker 2: found fascinating. It could be because maybe you had a
• 22:44
  Speaker 2: better job and your lifestyle was higher, and you have
• 22:46
  Speaker 2: to now live in a lifestyle that you didn't expect.
• 22:50
  Speaker 2: Your money doesn't go far enough. It's there are a
• 22:54
  Speaker 2: bunch of reasons, and sociologists and economists are just starting
• 22:58
  Speaker 2: to look at this. But if you happen to have
• 23:02
  Speaker 2: a very high end job, if you happen to have
• 23:05
  Speaker 2: a lot of education, you are going to retire sooner
• 23:12
  Speaker 2: than people who don't have the education and don't have
• 23:15
  Speaker 2: that job. I found that a fascinating statistic. Okay, Foody
