Many of us are still mentally capacitated.

Contrary to public opinion

Old people aren’t hired because companies do not pay for experience. Two young people for the same money.

Also old people aren’t so pretty at the front desk anymore.

It’s not all about diminished capacity.

If anyone wants younger government then vote for it. Didn’t happen the last couple elections. But Joe is doing fine.

Why would Republicans want us to work til 70 before SS kicks in if we are so incapacitated?
