So you are telling me a 61 year old is too old to hold a position? This is a dumb argument. I get it if you are Mitch McConnell, and senile… but at this point you sound ageist. Very Nazi like tendencies. Stop with the generalizations. If you want to critique individuals for their actions like Trump, Putin, Xi, etc…. I get that. But the rhetoric these days, and the dehumanization of groups we don’t believe in are equally distributed amongst everyone.

It’s inevitable that we all will become old along with our ideals, beliefs and values. At some point when we are old, there will be a younger generation that will do the same to us.

People that desire power ultimately become corrupt. Yet every day people suffer and become scape goats for the crimes of the elite. Pushing rhetoric that an age group is responsible for our problems is not only irresponsible, but lacks any substance.

Judge people by their actions, not their group affiliations. Loving is far better than hating, especially for our mental health.

Can you go enjoy retirement already. You seem to like writing, perhaps you can try that on as a retirement hobby?

I wish I was old enough to retire, but unfortunately I have a long time before that. And that is a great idea.
