@89th said in Pelosi positive for COVID:
With all due respect to the elderly... mother EFF it's like watching a nursing home bingo night sometimes.
There needs to be a change in the political culture to stop people working so long into old age.
Either that, or put the retirement age at 70 and be done with it. Jobs where people routinely work until they drop are typically going to attract the type of person that wants to work until they drop, and to be honest I'm not convinced of these people's sanity. Certainly they're not normal.
Also, if so many people can still do this job when they're 80 years old, how hard can it be?

@Doctor-Phibes excellent analysis
There's a woman where I work that started there the year I was born - 1963!
I don't know what she actually does, but she claims salary, pension, and social security.

Their staffs do the actual work. You see very few elderly staffers.

You know, I don't have a problem with that, although term limits may accomplish the same goal with less muss and fuss.
