    Having strokes on live TV, falling down stairs? License to hold office revoked.

      How about just kicking geezers out, period? 70 should be a hard cut off imo. If taking evaluations becomes a regular part of your day we just don’t have time to support this.

      Nobody cares what anybody’s grandpa wants, they’re too out of touch already. And it doesn’t get better as you age.
