If you refuse to hire an old guy, that is a lawsuit, and socially unacceptable to say or do. But this is OK? Even if I said I didn't want to hire the 65 year old that is changing careers and learning a new field because I don't want to spend time training them when they are on the cusp of retirement, that's a lawsuit and socially unacceptable. But this is ok?

People just don't like saying it out loud.
