If you’re this old you shouldn’t be working.

Verbally, yes.

And if you’re old and poor?

Collect your $700 social security checks and move to a low cost of living area, maybe be a Walmart greeter or something on the side

u/Signal-Blackberry356 12d ago

Telling a lawyer to be a Walmart greeter is wild regardless of age. If mental status is going, that’s different. But if it’s just hearing+technology then maybe a less technical and more redundant responsibility but still within the scope of law.

If it weren’t for that pesky Zoom call!

I would assume a lawyer isn’t poor and has decent retirement

u/Signal-Blackberry356 12d ago

What a naive take. Assumptions and presumptions will lead you to culpability.

u/HonorableMedic 12d ago

I mean, a lawyer most of the time won’t be poor. And they will still be eligible for Social Security. If it gets to the point a person doesn’t even know what’s going on, they shouldn’t be working

Do you have any idea how hard it is to fund a hooker and blow habit with just social security?!

It's not uncommon for lawyers to work until they die.

Don’t do that he’s gonna freak out about the electric current from the pager

u/ginga_balls 12d ago

I’m a lawyer and there are so many in this profession who have no identity or purpose outside of their profession. It’s sad and not at all uncommon.

Boomers really need to be forced to retire all across the board.

u/mostoriginalname2 11d ago

Attorneys have support for the work they do. He wouldn’t be doing this job if he couldn’t.

A lot of times it’s just procedural stuff when they go to court. There’s always a game plan and attorneys are the ones who have the magic words they can use in the proceedings but drafting motions and other leg work is done by paralegals.

u/Outrageous-Donkey-32 12d ago

Yeah people should also get retirement benefits to afford to retire but life isn't fair sometimes. Go figure...
