      What! You’re saying the system of oligarchic gerontocracy we’ve had for all of modern history, that is literally burning our planet, should be changed?

      Blasphemy!

        Congress, the President, and judges need a mandatory retirement age. We have them for pilots and air traffic controllers. I would set it at 65.

        I know the Right likes to throw around Biden Bot’s text to speech timeouts, motor control issues, ghost handshakes and the gibberish world salad he likes to produce but I like to think there’s a parallel dimension where this is frontpage news world wide, no matter where you politically stand.

        But we’re in this dimension, unfortunately. 🌚
