En repoussant de deux ans l'âge minimum de liquidation de pension ou âge d'ouverture des droits (AOD), l'ambition de la réforme des #retraites de 2010 a été de réduire la charge des pensions et d'augmenter le taux d'activité des #seniors,
limitant ainsi le déficit des caisses d'assurance-retraite.

STATEMENT from #WhiteHouse PLEASE read!>>Congressional Republicans have laid out their mega MAGA trickle-down economic plan clearly. Their economic plan will raise costs and make inflation worse. Their five part plan includes:

Emploi des #seniors: Dussopt envisage un cumul salaire et indemnisation. Donc vu comme ça le pb de l’emploi des seniors viendrait des chômeurs seniors et pas des entreprises qui préfèrent s’en séparer. Ne pas répondre au pb !

I was recently in Switzerland, mostly around Berne. Since there are municipal elections in #Ontario, I thought that it would be nice to talk more about quality of life beyond lower taxes. #onpoli #topoli 1/14
They come from government, the non-profit and private sectors. They may not all be applicable - of course. Thanks for the inspiration @shawnmicallef #switzerland 2/14

The story of the #BuildBackBetter has yet to be written. Let’s examine the 50 Republican US Senators who are voting against lifting children out of poverty, education,elder care, affordable prescription drugs, child care & family leave? What does this mean for YOUR STATE?
#ALABAMA Sen. Richard Shelby is voting against the #ChildTaxCredit “The Center on Budget &Policy Priorities found making the program permanent would benefit 93% of #AL children,lift 162,000 #AL children above/closer to poverty line & benefit 480,000 #AL children under 17.
#ALABAMA Sen. Tommy Tuberville has offered you no solutions; he has admitted that he “wouldn’t have a clue” how to address the current pandemic and recently told people that $600 per week in federal unemployment benefits was just “too much.” al.com/news/2021/12/a…

@NandiniVenkate3 in her note, mentioned that being a Senior Citizen in India is scary. And I might add, "is tough as well". That tweet,
generated a lot of traction.
Let me try and address some part of it.
@NandiniVenkate3 in her note, mentioned that being a Senior Citizen in India is scary. And I might add, "is tough as well". That tweet,
generated a lot of traction.
Let me try and address some part of it.
From a finance standpoint, There are 3 aspects of being a senior citizen: a. Health and Health Insurance Costs; b. A steady income from broad source of asset base. c. People who will put Vultures to shame and acting in the financial services industry space.
I will address the 1st part in this thread and why PM / must make an intervention.
Health Insurance to senior citizens is problematic. As they move into an age where they are faced with a prospect of reduced steady income, the demands on that money goes up.

This is hard to write but it is true for many. What I’m about to say is a harsh reality of what people go through.
What I am about to say is also the reason why a lot of people don’t ask for help.
People do not ask for help because of the fears and stigmas that exist.

Here Is Something to think about,
What if you were a #singleparent with a #child
You work full time for $15.00/hr
You take home roughly $960.00 per paycheck (bi-weekly after taxes)

Your bills per month:
$1,000 or more for rent
$150 or more for cable/internet
$250 or more for utilities
$150 per month for car insurance
So let’s do the math
You bring home about
$1,920.00 a month
Your bills average about $1,500(give or take)

This month marks a decade since I completed medical #internship. I thought then that I had achieved my goal, that I would find joy in my work. Little did I know where life would lead me. My #reminisces & #reflections - too long for a tweet & too short for a blog - hence, a 🧵
As the first & only #medical student in the extended family, I was in #unfamiliar waters. Moving to uncle's house in another city was a not-too-comfortable but not-wholly-unpleasant change. I'm privileged to be part of a family who did all they could to keep me happy
The pedagogy was #authoritative & #oppressive; seemed to be designed to #humiliate, not teach. I couldn't learn by rote, didn't know of any better ways (pre- ubiquitous smartphone era) Expected to address #seniors using honorifics, I felt they were as unapproachable as teachers
Earlier today we were in downtown #yyc handing out water & gatorade and fruit, when we decided to stop & have a break by the Cat Cafe...when we came upon a senior lady rummaging through the city's garbage bins.
#Yyccc #Calgary #Alberta #Canada #SeniorLiving #seniorcare #Seniors
#Yyccc #Calgary #Alberta #Canada #SeniorLiving #seniorcare #Seniors
We thought she was looking for bottles to turn in for money but we were wrong. She was looking for both bottles & she was also taking food out of the bins & putting it in her cart.
As soon as we saw that we went over to offer her our help.

We went over, asked if we could get her a cold drink & a snack & asked her if she'd like to join us on our break.
She accepted. We went into the coffee shop across from the Cat Cafe (Forgot Name), grabbed some drinks & snacks and sat down in the shade across the street. #Hope

This morning we saw something we will NEVER forget.
We were at the #Walmart in Southeast #Calgary. We were shopping for some groceries when my stepson saw someone take a package of meat and put it under their shirt and then slowly walk over to their cart. #Food #Hungry #Alberta

This person had very few things in their cart. My stepson knows what I do here at @HarvestHillsYYC & he asked if we could help them.
I said yes we could but that this person would feel ganged up on if we all walked over to them, so I told him to stay here and that I’d walk over.
I said yes we could but that this person would feel ganged up on if we all walked over to them, so I told him to stay here and that I’d walk over.
I walked over to where they had their cart and said “I know what it is like to struggle. I would love it if you’d let me help you and I’d like to pay for your groceries.”
This person looked up at me and said “did you see me take the meat?” I said “yes I did. I’d like to help”.

We have a serious emergency.
Late this afternoon we were contacted by a senior named “Helen”. She only had one meal left in her kitchen.
She called us for help and we are helping.
We will be using the last of our available funds to get her some much needed groceries. #YYC #YEG

We will hopefully be giving her enough groceries for an entire month so she doesn’t have to worry about having to choose between medications/food, food/electricity, food/rent.
Too many #Calgarians are being ignored and forgotten. Too many #Calgarians are afraid to ask for #help.

We need help. If anyone can help with a donation towards her food hamper, we will be here for about 2 more hours because we are shopping for four seniors tonight.

Thermal scanners finally getting attention for their inaccuracy in screening for #COVID19. I’ve covered thermography in detail over the pandemic in an effort to raise awareness about the differences in how #fever presents by age and even time of day. –a thread--
On March 4, 2021, the @US_FDA released a statement indicating “improper use of thermal imaging systems may lead to inaccurate body temperature measurements which can present potentially serious public health risks.” #publichealth

Today, @washingtonpost released a story highlighting the @US_FDA warnings on thermal scanners and recent research showing many of the devices use software that can make a feverish person appear perfectly well.

This evening at 4:45pm we got a call from a social worker that works with seniors. She called us in a frenzy asking us for immediate help.
She told us of an emergency so extreme that her voice shook with concern over one of her clients.

This is what she said:
"Hello Jen, I was hoping I would be able to contact you before I left my work for the day in regards to a rather important situation that came across my desk this afternoon. I hope you have the time to chat?"
I said "Yes of course, how can we help?" #care

She said "We have a senior lady that is struggling so much that she has been going door to door asking for food from others in her complex."
I was quiet and honestly speechless.

1/4I feel those that chose not to wear a mask are selfish because it is not themselves they are protecting. They are protecting others. I heard in Asian continents if you DO NOT wear a mask you are considered an outcast. People do not like you. They do not want you around them
2/4It is about respect for human lives. About respect for your fellow man NO MATTER what you believe. WEAR A MASK. If you do not and find out you have COVID. I hope these APPS eventually tell you how many #disabled #seniors #kids #sick that you passed it on too and killed.
3/4And Canada needs to make it so the disabled can afford PPE. The Right kind and keep it clean or be able to wear three. I want to save lives not take them. I need this Because I cannot afford to stay in and have groceries delivered. In fact I go without food. #ODSPoverty
1/3 I had a lot of time to do thinking while in this fleabag motel. As I thought I recalled a speech I think it was Harris but do not hold me to that. It was said that the OAS pension would run out by 2021. If anyone can find that on Youtube or newspaper I would appreciate.
2/3As I have not hidden this tweeter who is disabled and 51 yrs old believes #seniors #disabled #vets and anyone who relies on the govt, are being culled. Does it not seem strange that this vaccine MAY be ready by the END 2021. We have the biggest population of #seniors right now
3/3 Baby boomers are aging and are Seniors. So since the OAS is running out. And #disabled are being completely ignored during this WORSE time during the pandemic. Yet they say there are discretionary funds for the #disabled but TRUST THIS TWEETER there is nothing. #ODSPoverty

1. It’s sexual health week, so it’s my annual reminder that many older adults are sexually active, enjoy a variety of sexual acts, take sexual risks, but can face structural and personal barriers to realising their sexual agency and expression #SHW20 #SHW2020
2. You get to hear my Barnsley accent 😱
They are getting slammed with phone calls from people who’s CERB is ending soon, people who need out help.
Is there anyone out here on Twitter that can help them by donating?
