      Cue the people screaming “you can’t do that it’s ageist policy! What if they’re actually in good shape?”

      Doesn’t matter. The ones in poor shape who refuse to give up the throne outweighs the few who somehow manage to stay relevant. It’s being out of touch with the 90% of the population below you in age, and that’s compounded by the bubble politicians live in already with their political games and maneuvering. All designed to keep themselves and their party in charge instead of actually giving a fuck about the country, willing to sacrifice their constituents for a corporate bribe campaign contribution.
