For today's inspiration, here's an old man still working a minimum wage job because he'll never be able to afford retirement!
Even more dystopic: His life revolved around work for so long, he can't live any other way
He stated he just didn't know what to do in retirement, so he went back to work. Having nothing you enjoy in life more than working seems like a special type of hell to me
He already retired from a govt job. He was bored apparently. But your point remains.
Crikey. So it's more like... "For today's inspiration, here's an old man who had nowhere to go so he started working a minimum wage job that could be done by someone who actually needs the money just because he was bored!" ... situation then. Nice.
