I didn’t pay this rumor much attention until it began showing up in my own family tree. I lost a younger sister recently to a sudden and unexpected death, the same week that Michael Jackson, Farah Fawcett and Billy Mays passed away. After I adjusted to this surprising surge of death around me, I began to further investigate this strangeness of “dying under 60”, only to find that 2 family members from my second brother-inlaw’s family had died within the past year and were “under 50”! Being doubly surprised, I tried discounting these facts into being exclusive of own family’s tree, only to discover that many constituents of mine turned in “either the same, or higher numbers of younger deaths” in their families!

So far the major news networks, along with the pharmaceutical companies, are neither choosing to investigate these recent developments in American society, nor are they likely to support the revelations of the facts. Needless to say, if you or someone you know has an instance where a loved one, or more than one have recently died unexpectedly (and not from an accident), below the age of say 55, I suggest you start sharing those facts with your favorite cyber community, or circle of friends because it appears we’ve finally stumbled upon a corporate plague, that should be scheduled for extermination none too soon!

It is becoming more evident today that “stress” from the now most extreme forms of corporate exploitation in the US workplace are causing it’s citizenry to literally “drop dead” before the age of 50! It’s atrocious, it’s hush-hushed, it’s a paramount disgrace and it’s still trying to grow! When we’ve been fed these stories over the past 20 years about how much longer people were living, it was because the seniors-in-question were at the height of their working professions under a completely different set of rules and lifestyles. The disparity between these golden agers used for the purpose of statistics and their modern day counterparts are alarming. Actually, the longest living shared the following varieties of life different from todays:

- They rarely were required to use a resume’ (Now that I think of it, I knew Harry Pim, one of the first vice-presidents of IBM and he used to make no secret to the fact that he didn’t have more than an 8th grade education!)
- Credit cards were not invented yet
- Mortgages required 50% down or more, and were paid off quickly
- A woman could choose to stay at home with as many as 5 children and still manage to survive well on just her husband’s income
- They could buy a new car for less than 25% of their yearly salary!
- All services including the phone company gave you immediate access to “support by real people” and not recorded messages telling you to visit www.
- People could buy better foods anywhere
- Quarterly earnings in a company were a non-event
- People were permitted to do major task work and not multi-task jobs
- It was still considered to be “ridiculous” and “disgraceful” to even consider profiting from another’s illness or sickness.
- Doctors (including my grandfather) would make house calls!
(And many of you can likely mention many more aspects here, I have missed)

The point I’m trying to make is that in the modern era of today, people in the US have become so overly-exploited, overly-hyped, overly-ripped-off, under-paid and intimidated that their beginning to drop dead under 50 years of age and all for corporations that have robbed them of their grandparents healthy way of living. It’s idiotic, it’s demonic, it’s both reckless and rapacious and it’s high time to put a stop to it! If you’ve any suggestions in agreement with mine I suggest you “sound off” about it! This is an epidemic that needs full extermination “before” any economic recovery can develop on the horizon and if it’s not wiped out in due time, then you shall need to prepare yourselves for every 3-out-of-10 family members to “drop dead” before the age of 40!
