So if a company demoted a 74 year old person with cancer in order to promote a person in their 30's what would we say

13. I wonder what huge tremendous differences there would be depending on the age of the person doing that job.

We have to assume worst case scenario that this older person will never go away, cling to "power" for decades and only be, like, old forever? I thought being the establishment was bad, anyway. If leadership is all based on youth then they'd better be perfect. It'll be whining about broken promises and not being progressive enough because legislature needs votes and Republicans control Congress. People are much happier bashing leadership for being old because they can't prove there's a big difference. Like bashing Democrats for being Republican lite neoliberals without a shred of evidence.
