One thing that doesn't get mentioned enough is that my generation is sick. I was given Cipro (an antibiotic) and it wrecked my health. Cipro is prescribed 30 million times a year in the US! How many have been disable like me from just that one medication.

Before, I was working on cars, fixing houses, and doing programming. Now I'm incapacitated several months out of the year. I don't qualify for disability because I can work for a few months then I get an auto-immune flareup. Therefore I probably fit into his "able bodied" but not looking for work group. No one wants to hire someone for six months only to have them disappear with an illness for a month. The covid vax really brought to the forefront how medicine is now basically used to disable people and not help. Illness is much more widespread in that 25-54 year old age group than it was a decade or two ago.
