This article gets so close to an important point and then misses it.
I don’t like this headline because it implies that Joe Biden and Donald Trump are, or ever has been, a worker…
Joe Biden is old. So is Donald Trump. So are millions of other American workers

Was reading Wikipedia about a string of serial murders last night. One of the victims was an 81 yo man on the way home from his work. This was in 1973. It’s not a new problem, it’s just worse than before.

Neither one of them cares anything about workers. Young or old.

It’s important to remember what we’re working ourselves to death for.

That’s the real crime. Leaders can be old. Workers should never be forced to be old.

You mean working until you drop dead isn’t normal in a civilized country? /s

One still works because they can’t let go of power, the other works because they need to survive.
