Dianne Feinstein was born in 1933
She is older than
• Hawaiian Punch
• The first can of beer
• Donald Duck
• The first blood bank
• The Oscar Mayer Wienermobile
• Famous Amos cookies and the 5th Ave candy bar
• Commercial hydroponics
•The Internet
Her known net worth is over $95 million
Take a guess how she made it
And now she won’t give a timeline on when she’ll come back to do her job and appoint judges – after 3 months of absence
Whatever legacy she had? Is gone.
Resign.
@DougWar40k @flexghost Old guy here.
ABSOLUTELY age is totally relevant.
It is very bad that America is ruled by extremely rich, extremely old people who are systematically destroying the future, a future they will never see, for all the young.
@TomSwirly @flexghost
I'd say that systematically destroying the future is more a consequence of being evil than of being old.
Given all of human history, I'm pretty hostile to the concept of taking any ancillary demographic trait that's beyond someone's control as prima facie evidence of their unfitness for office. There are people who live to 110 without evident signs of dementia. Feinstein, however, is not one of them.
An old person has little stake in the future. Rich, old people have maintained a stranglehold on the American government.
If you were instead proposing a wealth limit, I'd be fine - it would have exactly the same effect.
America's leaders have completely and utterly failed their country, while feathering their own nests.
In a just world, most of them would go directly to jail and never see the light of day again - and feel lucky to escape with their lives.
