It is. People who work with their hands and bend their backs would ideally retire long before 65. Listening to media in recent months you would think the only people who work do so in offices. I've done both. Both have their stresses but physical stress is on another level.

I lived at a hostel for a year, long ago. Two of my neighbours, in their early 50s, were lifelong day labourers, already pretty much done for after years of long work in any weather. These proposals would kill them.
