Biden’s mental state is a huge worry. Honestly, I’d rather a candidate other than Trump too because of his age, but we rarely get what we want in life. DJT seems to be the one president in my lifetime who didn’t look significantly aged after his presidential term, at least . But then again, the stress he’s under now with all the lawfare would also bring most people to their knees and he seems to be handling it. But at some point his body will refuse to handle the high stress anymore. Can we please get the Boomers to retire already?
In a nightmare, A dark vision, the original Joe is in a freezer, saved for DNA samples if needed, and body doubles with Joe masks fill the Residency for ever.
“The Social Security Administration actuarial predictions show that a male born in 1942, like Biden, can expect to live another 8.1 years on average. Katia Iervasi, a lead writer and spokesperson at NerdWallet, crunched CDC mortality numbers to show that an 80-year-old man has a 31.35% chance of dying within 5 years.”
Either I’m not getting something, or there is something wrong with this. Does the Social Security Administration really claim that a man born in 1942 can expect to live until the age of 88 or 89? This struck me as puzzling by itself, but the CDC numbers quoted next also seem to contradict it.
I'd like to see younger people in the race too, but Republicans had plenty of options and they stuck with Trump. Democrats had fewer options, but they stuck with Biden. So at some point we have to move beyond "they're too old" -- true as it is -- and talk about which one would be a better president.
As for the larger question about gerontocracy, I'm not wise enough to know if this is a demographic situation that will resolve itself over time or a long-term problem that calls for structural changes. But that's a different conversation.
