Caren, people in their comfortable positions need to be pushed out. They DON'T volunteer to leave.

Those around fluff up the cushions, making them even less likely to move. David Brooks recently declared he would support Biden in 2024 if he were 100 years old having been wonderful for America.

The powerful elderly are obviously members of a cabal. They huddle together in times of falls, freezes, and flubs -- witness Biden and McConnell.

Best.
