I'm tired. For a couple years I've been blaming it on iron
poor blood, lack of vitamins, dieting and a dozen other maladies.
But now I found out it ain't that. I'm tired because I'm
overworked.
The U.S. population is 237 million. 104 million are retired.
That leaves 133 million to do the work.
There are 85 million in school, which leaves 48 million to do
the work.
Of this there are 29 million employed by the federal
government. This leaves 19 million to do the work.
Four million are in the Armed Forces, which leaves 15 million
to do the work.
Take from the total the 14,800,000 people who work for the
government and that leaves 200,000 to do the work.
There are 188,000 in hospitals, so that leaves 12,000 to do
the work.
Now, there are 11,998 people in prisons. That leaves just two
people to do the work. You and me.
And you're sitting there reading this.
