The funny thing is they could forever leave the “draft dodger” conversation in the dust if they just stopped nominating people over 70. But they just can’t help clinging to power by forcing us to vote for the lesser of two geriatrics.
There hasn’t been a conscription since 1972. Anyone 18 at that time is now 70+. Let it go old folks. Just fade away peacefully. Enjoy your retirement. You can have a nice time without being inflamed by facebook posts to try to start a racewar.
They NEED majority retirement laws. They could soften up the pain by phasing it in as the old ones die out, thus increasing the odds that the old jackasses in power will actually adopt it.

Just imagine what horrors would show up if we extend life (even if only for the super wealthy) to 150, 200, more?
People could consolidate power and hold onto it for centuries, not just decades.
