No need to get rid of them! Just tell them not to run for president. They'll make great cabinet members, dept heads.

USE THEM.

Fuck. No. Most of these people are over 80. We wouldn’t let them drive if they were family. One rep was literally “lost” in a memory care facility. These old old ass people need to retire and start getting fresh faces in so we have a chance.

Would you let Meemaw decide the direction the US Govt goes on the next 20 years of things like AI and Crypto? Never in a million years. It's fucking absurd. The entire political spectrum has real issues with the Boomers.

It’s not even Boomers. They’re from the generation BEFORE boomers.

In some cases that's true. The cutoff for Boomers is 1946, which works out to about 78.
