"We need an economy that works for all, not just the few. And one important way forward in that direction is to bring about major reforms in the H-1B program."
Every time people fixate on age limits i think of how Bernie spent the last decade running circles around everyone in Congress on actual sensible good policies for Americans.
Can I get an AMEN? He’s a prime example of someone I think about when I hear a prejudice it is politically correct to hold - in fact, it’s even fashionable to constantly espouse it - and that is ageism.
I also think of him when I think of the vapid discussions about “term limits”.
people age at different rates, but age limits seem like an easy answer to the complicated problem of removing someone from office when they show signs of being unfit. People like when it’s easy, but it doesn’t solve the actual problem. Someone with early onset dementia or some other illness that means they can’t effectively do their job is just as hard to remove. While preventing someone who’ll stay sharp until they die at 90 from doing a job they’re still capable of.
I wonder if there’s a way to make it easier without making it too easy and able to be manipulated by bad actors.

Its not necessarily the age that matters but it can. Accountability matters far more than age restrictions.
