The move would extend her 36-year House career and continue to freeze her would-be California successors in a long-standing holding pattern.

Yeah she’s 83 years old and could be worth $170 million. I think a normal person at some point would just want to take it easy a live their life for a bit. IMO it’s kind of ghoulish to have all these 70+ year olds still power-tripping just for the sake of it.
Like Strom Thurmond, who left the Senate in 2003 at 100 years old, and then pretty much died immediately afterwards.
Pretty sure most of these people would die immediately after retiring. Their thirst for power keeps their body working or something. That’s the only reasonable explanation of why in the flying fuck an 80 year old multimillionaire would choose to continue working.
Oh, I thought their longevity was due to the adrenochrome. /s
I have employees who are way past retirement age and could have retired financially ages ago, but they really like what they do and they worry they’d just get bored sitting at home.
I’m nearing retirement, and I’m going to actually do it, but part of that is that I committed to my wife that I would and we’d go off and do stuff. Still, I honestly understand why some people don’t. I could easily live another 25 years, and my job really keeps my juices going. Some days I don’t want to get up and go to work, but the thought of never going in again is daunting.
