What a very oddly specific and suspicious thing to have anything at all to say about.
Giuliani micro penis confirmed.
Every accusation is a confession
Almost exposed in the Borat moviefilm.
I'm starting to wonder how many of these aged politicians start to have dementia but manage to continue.
It's really starting to make me pretty ageist when I consider voting.
We should not be ashamed for being ageist when we are talking about politicians. The system has always been ageist with its limits directed toward young people, so I see no reason why there shouldn’t be an upper limit for old people.
Young people have more to loose when they are making decisions on climate change etc. Dudes in their 80s don't give a shit if their policy decisions mess stuff up as in the short term their dead soon.
Even still, I’d be equally against a 90 y/o politician as much as a 9 y/o one.
Would rather vote for a 9yo
I mean the 9 year old would probably legislate Fortnite more than transpeople, so.... I kinda would prefer the 9 y/o in congress
It's bizarre that in most every other line of work, people are discriminated against and expected to retire when they're over 60... besides low-paying unskilled labor like maintenance, where they're forced to work by economic conditions, or very skilled work like being a lawyer or doctor. I suppose the latter is what people consider politicians. Supposedly we are reaping the benefits of their long, wise lives... which is a joke. It's fucked up that we're looking at an election with two people who are about 80. I don't know anyone who is 80 who should be in a position that has massive responsibility and a busy workload. On the other hand, it's also weird to consider electing some inexperienced twerp like DeSantis, who is younger than I am.
My firm has mandatory retirement at 65 for partners so younger professionals can become partner themselves. It's so weird how normal that is in every industry except government.
There's many professionals that continue to work well beyond 65. Most doctors and lawyers for example. Plus independent business owners and sports coaches... List can go on.
Basically it's none of the governments business if someone doesn't want to stop at 65 and fuck off if you're suggesting the government should be enforcing some age limits on it. It's the opposition that is responsible for building a strong enough case against old politicians that force them to retire. Not the government.
I turned 48 today. I'm starting to look at what will happen when I get to 65. At this point, I don't think I'll be able to afford to retire. Maybe I'll go to part time and do freelance work or something, but I won't be able to afford to just stop working entirely.
Sorry man, I'm your same age but I'm hopeful that I can retire early.
Hey, nobody is keeping you here. You are the first toxic example I have experienced. If you're not able to handle a disagreement with someone, it's not Lemmy.
I wouldn't worry about their age as much as their cognitive abilities.
I dunno, this stuff sounds like what I hear muttered by the meth-heads at the bus stop opposite my office. These guys in their 60s-70s are popping prescribed amphetamines to keep them going, they’ve gotta come down at some point.
