I wonder what real, useful, results will be obtained from spending half a 
million dollars per year per project for five years on these projects. This 
cryonet message came on a day when the BBC featured an extreme shortage of jobs 
for those who had graduated from university this year.


People often write about greed for money, but there is also greed for jobs. 
There was a thread in Longevity Report recently where someone wrote that 
everyone only need work 2 days a week to produce goods and services that are 
wanted or needed, the other three are "make work".


Given that everyone has a limited lifespan, which readers of this list want to 
extend, I wonder whether "make work" could be discouraged and everyone enjoy the
extra three days/week this would produce. Comparing it with present day 
lifespans, this would over double the average duration of free time.
