Have you ever thought about the way elderly people run this country? When it comes to any other job, seasoned people are forced into retirement long before they turn seventy years old.
- In politics, the 60 and 72 year olds are still in charge.
This doesn’t make sense to me, because if a supplier doesn’t trust an seasoned woman to manage a department, how can seasoned people effectively manage the entire nation? Personally I believe that the elderly are a resource of wisdom and knowledge. My next door neighbor Benny was an Heating and Air Conditioning repair tech for over twenty years. Physically she is not capable of doing the heavy lifting of Heating and Air Conditioning repair, but mentally she knows the job as well as anyone! The last time I needed a tuneup done on our little a/c I didn’t call the store I went next door and talked to Benny. For the cost of a couple of beers Benny sat in her wheelchair and guided myself and others step-by-step through the a/c tuneup process. The two of us were a little slow at times, but Benny was as sharp as ever when it came to navigating the complexities of the a/c components. It’s safe to say that Benny has forgotten more about a/cs than I will ever know. The tuneup went so well that I am going to invite him over again next weekend and help myself and others tune up our oil furnace. I won’t need to use the oil furnace for a few more weeks, but I might as well get it checked out right now.
