A ballot measure left voters to decide whether 81 is too old for some political jobs. It was one state’s answer to an issue that has been a focus of national debate this election cycle.
Surprisingly based from ND, to be completely honest
If we take someone like Biden, for example, and say, he was given 100 more years of healthspan. Given the arc he’s been on, even as a relative moderate, I’d take that, assuming he’s on a trajectory.
I think ruling out people based on the mere number of times they’ve been around the sun is kind of dumb.
Kind of short sighted, especially as life extension may come online and some age-related diseases may become a thing of the past.
That ain’t happening for a while. When the average age starts hitting the 150s, then maybe the age limit can go up
Given how slow government works, it could happen and then it would be hard to get rid of even when ridiculously outdated as a notion.
Kind of like the EC.
Sounds like an even better reason to pass the law.
But why though? Suppose someone like Bernie were to be among the first wave of people living way past current life expectancy?
For every Bernie you get 10 Nancy Pelosi. No thanks.

Hold up, you think I like the idea of Biden being around longer in our politics? Cause I don’t.
