Professor [Stephanie] Luce characterized the protesters who had problems finding full-time work as part of an emerging demographic that some commentators call the “precariat” — educated people forced into unsteady or insecure jobs because little else is available.
The American Precariat seems more hunkered down, insecure, risk averse, relying on friends and family but without faith in American possibilities. This fatalism is historically uncharacteristic of America.
My first encounter with one group of the new nomads came in 2013, at the Desert Rose RV park in Fernley, Nevada. It was populated by members of the “precariat”: temporary laborers doing short-term jobs in exchange for low wages.

Senses:
gloss: The length of time in one's life where one is generally in good health.
pos: noun
examples: We now have a glimpse of a future which could include the ultimate conquest of frailty, disease and disability that occurs frequently with aging. […] In short, our goal is not just a longer lifespan but an extended "healthspan," helping a greater number of older Americans lead vigorous, more productive lives with less vulnerability to chronic disease.
[M]illions of Americans are currently spending large amounts of time and money on interventions that they hope will increase their "healthspans"—their periods of healthy life.
The evidence is clear. Four life-style factors are linked to a shortened healthspan: (1) eating a poor diet, particularly one high in fat, (2) not getting enough exercise, (3) drinking too much alcohol too often, and (4) smoking. In short, people with these habits become limited and die before their time.
[I]nterest in human biology has actually increased among the general population. This is primarily due to medical discoveries that increase not only lifespan but also healthspan, or the number of years that people live disease free.
The better the care we offer and the more customized it is to the needs of the specific pet, the longer our patients will live and the greater their healthspans will be.
He develops gene therapies through Butterfly Sciences, a small company he founded, and has been testing a therapy on himself that he believes might extend his life span and, crucially, his “healthspan,” the period when he’s in good physical and mental shape.
The lifespans and healthspans of Drosophila reared with WJf, WJDf, GSf, or GSDf were compared with those of Nf-reared Drosophila […] In previous studies, the healthspan of Drosophila was defined at the point at which 50% of the individuals had locomotor ability[…]. Although the healthspan of Nf-reared Drosophila was only 11.9 days, those of GSf-, GSDf-, WJf-, or WJDf-reared Drosophila were extended to 15.6 days (69.6% up), 18.2 days (98.2% up), 15.6 days (69.6% up), or 13.5 days (46.7% up), respectively[…].

No more interesting or complex narcotic drink can be found than ayahuasca, caapi, or yajé, prepared basically from the bark of the liana Banisteriopsis caapi.
A number of studies have confused ayahuasca, caapi, and yagé as substances other than Banisteriopsis caapi.
Describing some of the effects of caapi, which he took with the natives of an Amazon village, McGovern wrote: “Curiously enough, certain of the Indians fell into a particularly deep state of trance, in which they possessed what appeared to be telepathic powers.
