He could literally die of age in his sleep. Yet he's running the country.

[sighs and gets up from the his chair, and walks over to a window] There were several candidates during the Canadian elections. One of them was this brash asshole who just spoke his mind. He didn't really offer any solutions, he just said outrageous things. we... thought it was funny. [the mom begins to cry quietly, and her son comforts her] Nobody really thought he'd ever be President. It was a joke! But we just let the joke go on for too long. He kept gaining momentum, and by the time we were all ready to say "Okay, let's get serious now. Who should really be President?" he was already being sworn into office. [turns around] We weren't paying attention. [collapses and begins to cry, bumping into the table against the window] We weren't paying attention! [lets out all his tears and the family gathers around him to comfort him.]

We need to ban people over a certain age from holding political office. 65 maybe.

I think after Biden, we should add an amendment that caps the president's age. Perhaps 70 or 65 would be good?

Because we never set an age maximum for people in high political offices.

We need to do that for Presidential Candidates as well as Senate and Congress. Theres no reason our grandparents generation should be making decisions for our kids generation.

Older people make up the majority of voters. Until that changes old people like Biden, Pelosi, McConnel, etc. will continue to hold office. Old people arent as volatile as young people when it comes to preferences, so these dinosaurs arent going away.

Yeah!

Like: Why are gas prices so high? Why can't I find baby formula? Why can't I find tampons? Why is everything so expensive right now? Why does it cost so much to run my air conditioners this year? Why did my rent/mortgage increase?

or a trillion dollar spending bill passed by our politicians when we were coming out of a pandemic and we needed to be careful with how we "turned the economy back on".

Politicians don't understand the economy.

When you're in a relationship with a menstruating person, you do end up buying tampons or have to worry about where they're coming from.

So, if something is a world-wide issue, then the leaders in control of our country shouldn't be held accountable?

Yes

Now let's get back to how old geezers need to be barred from office. Kick them out if they're in too.

You can control a localized response to a contagious disease.

You cannot locally control a global economy.
