Remember that in America rich old people like a good 25 years longer than the average person. The elder Bush died at 94 and Jimmy Carter is still going at 99. Meanwhile my blue collar dad and grandpa died at 72 and 68 respectively. The wonders of a for-profit medical system.
@ChonkyOwlbear I myself have relations who lived to over 100.
That doesn’t really change the fact that by their late 70s, they were too old to work long hours in demanding jobs. They were elderly retired people for like 30 years.
I don’t think that dying in office is the only thing the US should be worried about here. I’ve seen footage of Biden and Trump, they are old and doddery. I wouldn’t put them in charge of anything bigger than a gift shop.
This. As a non-American it’s really weirding me out. They both seem way too old and doddery. Most people that age are retired.
