The worst thing you have ever read just came out, everybody. These two assholes plan on living longer than any of us.

    Old farts should sit in care homes, not ruling nations. Term limits and the same age cutoff as the regular blue collar worker and then go paint bad pictures on your ranch like W Bush.

    I didn’t think I’d ever get a very opinion of the latter, but here we go.

      I don’t object to old farts ruling nations. If they’re elected or otherwise democratically chosen, so be it. It’s just that there should be a term limit for everyone. 5 to 10 years top then you’re out.

        There should at least be a maximum age. Geriontocracy is just not normal.

            I think there’s a difference between the problems with leading a nation stemming from the natural ails of very old age versus what minority someone was born as.
