Hell one in particular was getting her hip replaced while endorsing the dude dying of cancer.
"A young 74 with throat cancer"
Dude was in dippers when Nancy was a preteen so he must be pretty spry.
We might need a garbage disposal to speed up dumping down the drain.
I have a very low opinion of Merkel and her politics, but she did score some positive points by voluntarily stepping down when she reached retirement age at 65 (of course that this happend to be an election year and she only didn't seek re-election lessens that a bit again, but I am willing to give her the benefit of doubt on that).
Yeah, we have at least one congresswoman in a retirement home with dementia at the moment and we've set the record for oldest president elected twice in a row. ALL of them need to be replaced.
And a fascism problem, a systemic racism problem, a misogyny problem, a classist problem, a labor management problem, a billionaire oligarch problem, a slaver problem, etc
Age is definitely a huge part of our politics. We have politicians that are too old to govern, laws that are too old to be relevant, and a constitution to old to handle problems for the 21'st century. There is something unnatural in trying to create a system of perpetual wealth accumulation that goes on to infinity. Nothing in our society is allowed to die, it's only allowed to fester till it a bigger problem later.
