While I don’t completely agree with this piece, Jordan, it’s excellent. Keep up the good work, and let’s band together to get the geezers gone…except for Bernie😎

I'm somewhat confused by the fourth paragraph...does Senator Feinstein's death prevent the Filing of subpoenas by the Judiciary Committee? As worded, this paragraph makes no sense.

"it all added up to very public elder abuse"

You weave empathy and critique in all the right places and ways in this piece. Well said Jordan, thanks for what you do.

I appreciate what you do! And you are very right in everything you say here — except "Nobody should be working at 90." Feinstein clearly shouldn't have been, and wasn't really, but everyone is different. Some people can work at 90 and want to. Please stick to the facts and refrain from making ageist comments. Thank you!

One reason they shouldn’t?

I give you Rupert F’ing Murdoch…

What does age have to do with it? He’s been evil forever.

I appreciate the feedback. What I meant to say is that nobody should have to work at 90, and such an stressful and important job shouldn’t be the responsibility of a 90 year old. I’ll amend the piece!

Thank you so much!! For sure, no one should have to work at that age.
