It is about ageism...

7. This is a tough one for me,,,,

In Corporate America, the oldest employees are often the ones laid off first. Older folks often have trouble finding jobs. Many of us kind of 'slow down' as we age.

There are restrictions/rules for younger folks about when they can drive, when they can marry, when they can enlist, how long they must stay in school, when they are 'adults'.

So I'm not as quick to say 'ageism' about President Biden when it is woven throughout our society.

I'm no Spring Chicken here, many old folks I know are still driving, still making financial decisions, planning and preparing their meals and cleaning their own spaces. Not all of those folks should still be doing all of those things. I think the discussion should have happened long before now about President Biden's age. The main goal now should be to win the 2024 election.

For me, it gets into how comfortable I was with what I saw and heard.
I hope is he planning to mentor someone to run next time in 2028, be a teacher and a guide, share his wisdom with the next generation. He is indeed an elder Statesman.
