    I imagine Mitch McConnell isn’t too far behind.

    I get it, aging sucks, but it’s part of the deal. You can’t live forever and there is a time to move on.

      Now imagine the terrifying future where there are expensive treatments available that allow these toxic humans to live much much longer. Allowing the power brokers whose viewpoints were cemented many decades ago to continue to rule over others

      The idea that society progresses one funeral at a time has some merit.

      What I don’t understand is why these people don’t just retire? Being that rich, you can kick up your feet and sip margaritas all day for the rest of your life, why work till you die if you don’t have to??

          Might also be a case of them being so deep into the fight that they don’t want to walk away from it.
