You can't count on someone retiring at a certain age. Many can't wait to retire and many can't imagine retiring at all.

Are you saying you can't predict the age of someone without a phone screen and that a phone screen predicts age? I'm not sure how I would know a person's age by talking to them on the phone. Do people "sound old?" N

$300? That's cheap. If I recall correctly I remember my mom telling me her first microwave was $800 (1982). That is over $2,000 adjusted for inflation. The one in my kitchen costs $30 or $40 and I bought it a decade ago.

Microwave ovens were absurdly expensive in the early days though, even up until the early 80s.

Government subsidies corn which is then used to make cheap high fructose corn syrup. Subsidies only go to a handful of crops.
