    I don’t understand why these people even want to keep working into their 80s and 90s. What the hell? It sounds miserable.

        I’m sure they all wear dentures. Anything spicier than an Ensure shake gives them debilitating indigestion.

        If I’m 83 and breaking my hips walking up 100-step marble staircases, I would be questioning why I’m doing that instead of living out my remaining years watching Price is Right on my yacht.

      You get driven in a nice car from your fancy DC townhouse or penthouse to a huge office with comfy chair and private bathroom where your staffers act like servants while telling you how important you are. Then you go to nice restaurants with lobbyists.

      It’s like how people would talk about Bezos doing 60 hr weeks. The conditions he “worked” under shouldn’t be considered work to begin with.

      (Personally being an introverted person it sounds the worst but I get why others would like it)
