Welcome

We're not The Onion! Not affiliated with them in any way! Not operated by them in any way! All the news here is real!

The Rules

Posts must be:

  1. Links to news stories from...
  2. ...credible sources, with...
  3. ...their original headlines, that...
  4. ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”

Comments must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.

And that’s basically it!

Yeah, the US needs to get its act together and stop electing people so close to the life expectancy.

Is this because the founding fathers wore those white wigs or something? Lol

SC justices too.

Sotomeyer is a type 1 diabetic, and is literally at the life expectancy for a woman with type 1 diabetes...

People make the argument that she "has the best healthcare" but one of the most important things with that is managing stress, and she's repeatedly making public statements about how stressful it is .

She's 100% going to die in office before she resigns, she learned absolutely nothing from RBG.

We need to stop ignoring that chronological age is a real thing, and has real effects on a person's ability.

But since everyone in our top positions are so old they're personally losing their mental abilities, they'll never admit it.

And the boomers that are "next" sure as shit aren't going to make better decisions, and we can't afford to wait another 30 years for them to die off.

We need to fix shit now
