Would it go down easier if you were offered a home, healthcare, and stability in lieu of re-training?

If somebody can't or won't re-train, don't you think maybe they're ready to retire?

I mentioned two different topics because two different topics were brought up in this thread by other people. That tends to happen in threads. On the topic of philosophy, if there's two kinds, the kind which comprises opinions sold by

Thanks for entering the conversation when you did. I hope you'll entertain it for a little longer, but if not, no worries. I'm just thinking, what if those conditions don't prohibit a truck from operating outside of a locale,

Not to me, it doesn't. To me, philosophy is a profession inhabited by trained professionals working in academic departments, teaching students, and publishing in journals. That's not me. I'm just a human doing human things. W

Who's "we"? Personally, I don't want what you're describing.

I wonder if it would be possible to have more than just one PostgreSQL database.
