This is not a political opinion post. It is a good story that shares my concerns about ageism and how it has been front and center in the news surrounding this election. As I am getting close to what is considered retirement age, I don't think I want to be told whether I can still work and contribute to society or told to just step back. I still want to be seen heard and valued for the contributions I have made and what I still might like to contribute to the world in the future.
Americans should celebrate — not resent — the fact that the potential re-election of either President Joe Biden or former President Donald Trump could carve out new ground for age diversity in an aging country, writes Arick Wierson.
