    No. Once they achieve longevity, THEN look at it again maybe, but as of TODAY, many of the reps are too fucking old!

    I thought Charles Darwin was smart, smh.

      It’s not likely to happen overnight, in my view. And the thing is, it takes so long to change rules like this to adapt to new realities. I think if we put some arbitrary cutoff into place just before people start living longer, it will take a long time to roll it back.

      I happen to think the age thing is a gigantic distraction, just like term limits are. I think people falling for either of these or both are missing what the real problems are.
