Working beyond a reasonable retirement age indicates the candidate does not share my values on the subject of retirement.
I don’t want my elected representatives representing the idea that We The People should be expected to continue to work into our 70’s, 80’s, 90’s.
Government is serious, important business. There are plenty enough horseshit corporate jobs and needy non-profit charities to meet the perverted workophile needs of these elderly people who still feel compelled to labor.

There are?
If anything ageism is far worse in the private sector, anyway…

For the same degree of productivity in comparable roles, I would say that the elected official has far more job security than either the private sector worker, or the non-elected public sector worker.
The private sector and the non-elected public sector will discharge non-productive workers relatively quickly. Elected officials tend to hang around well past their obsolescence.
It’s probably because it’s left to democratic processes, vs. a harsh top-down private tyranny. And while some officials hang out longer than they should, it’s because voters put them there…I’d much rather find ways to have robust primaries.
Seems a much better way to correct the issue rather than arbitrary limits that might run out people that we need in office.
The thing is these people aren’t working man. You and I are working, they are going to a meeting from time to time on their way to the gym and free restaurant reservations.
They are basically fucking around getting paid shit loads of bribe money to live the old man’s dream.
yes but the public office, specially the manager, need working brain that can tackle new ideas.
I think 80 is too high. I think 70 is too high.
maybe set it as the age of retirement.
