As for the age issue, consider what I know about people over 80 years old. I am 76 years old, and I live in a senior living community. We have about 300+ residents; most of us are in independent living accommodations. I have my Precious Penelope (my cat) and my car. I come and go as I please. The point I make is that many, many residents are in their 80s and 90s. At least one is 98 years old. I am a writer and editor for The Crier, our community newspaper. Our stalwart manager of The Crier is 94 years old, he still drives to shopping, appointments, etc. Any one of the nonagenarians I have met are sharp, coherent, intelligent, and eager to participate in life. They come here from all walks of life: teachers, engineers, physicists, doctors, nurses, researchers. The 81 year old man who lives in the apartment next to mine works full-time on a research project for the government. He gives talks and seminars about his work at a few universities. I believe our standard of living in America results in long-lived citizens. So, President Biden is on the leading edge of this generation of octogenarians and nonagenarians capable of contributing to the welfare of our nation. VOTE BIDEN. VOTE FOR CAPABLE DEMOCRATS, respecting the advantages of their ages.
Thank you Andrea! I’m 69 and still working full time as a Nurse Manager/Specialty Practice Leader. I love my work and continue to learn and pass on to the younger nurses the importance of the increasing technical skills to keep our patients safe, but recognizing the whole person that has the illness we are treating. It’s interesting that people assume that because I’m almost 70 that I should be retiring. We can still be old, and not only wise but still be able to lead. Plus by now we better have our shit together.
Karen RN, I'm also a nurse, and at age 66, have no interest in retirement. Our profession needs our wisdom and insights, and I have lots to contribute!

At 70 I am selling my nursing practice, (to a superb RN on my staff),and opening a somewhat political one. Watch out world. Nurses know too much!
YES!
