Well, unless you live in one of the 28 right-to-work states, then they can fire you for revealing your salary if they want to, just as long as they don’t SAY that’s the reason you got fired... Not many worker protections in the flyover states, best to “do as you’re told.”

I guess you skipped the part where I said, “It isn’t a perfect solution, but it’s a lot better than re-normalizing discrimination against an entire segment of the populace.” At least term limits apply to everyone equally, which is a crucial point if you want to call yourself a free & democratic society.

You’re citing statistics, while ignoring the actual competency of individuals... Saying 80% of people over 85 can’t run because 20% of them might have dementia isn’t a helluva lot different than saying 87% of African American males can’t run for office because 13% of them are incarcerated... You’re making broad

So you think we can define who’s “mentally fit” with some arbitrary number? Like, people over 85 can’t serve in public office because they’re not competent enough? Just ASSUME they’re unfit because “reasons” — the same way we used to keep women, blacks, Jews, gays, etc. from serving in office? Yeah, no slippery slope

Yep, working in retail will definitely kill Christmas music for you... I know it did for me.

Way to oversimplify the argument instead of understanding that I’m arguing in favor of democratic process over blanket rules that limit our power of choice... What happens when the *most qualified* candidate is older than your arbitrary age limit? Who wins then? That’s right, you don’t get to decide because some silly

Or, you know, we can just vote for younger candidates... Legislating absolutely everything is the quick path to authoratarianism.

The worst part about this and Time’s ‘Person of the Year’ is that they’re just trying to milk this whole movement for every penny they can get before everybody goes back to not giving a shit about sexual assault again... Cynical? Me? Nah.

We don’t get to vote on federal laws in this country... Although we are free to vote for younger candidates.

That’s a good point — maybe we need to revoke the minimum age limit as well.

That’s for the voters to decide, not the courts.

Someone took the red pill...

This isn’t trolling, this is good Kinja.

Pretty much every character in Archer looks mostly like the actors playing them...

“Deserved.”

When I saw Empire Strikes Back in 1980, the projector went out in the middle of Yoda’s speech to Luke and the audience basically rioted... Popcorn and drinks flying through the air, people shouting — I was, like, 4 years old and so confused about what was going on.

Hell, keep the government out of your religion or else it just becomes a political tool...

What are the circumstances of his birth and upbringing? All I know is what Wiki says — his mom was a beauty queen, his dad was an anchorman, his aunt was a cabaret singer, he attended state colleges (never graduated), then worked various blue collar jobs in construction, shoe sales, and cutting tobacco before he broke
