Georgia's Democratic congressman David Scott has died at age 80. Scott was the first Black chairman of the House Agriculture Committee and was seeking his 13th term in Congress despite challenges from within his party.
I know some really spry 80 year olds but I wouldn’t trust any of them with such responsibility. They’re out of touch, forgetful, etc. Great partners for golf, gaming, and other forms of entertainment but I don’t want them in charge of anything.
My grandpa is politically shrewd and still as smart as he ever was in his 90s. He’s very atypical for that and spends most of his time sleeping and managing the general pain and discomfort of being that old. At such advanced age one really should be retiring.
