Old people in power are the ones moving the needle, not the teenagers
people mellow out and change their minds in old age.
Wouldn't you expect that with an aging population?
Old people are doing great, while young people are getting squeezed.
Old people don't innovate? Sounds like an ageist stereotype.
People are getting older and more conservative.
It's just as ageist to assume that a young person doesn't know anything
It would be ageist if it was a prejudice and not a sad fact.
Getting older is no excuse for cynicism.
There seems to be a popular view nowadays that most old people grow to be senile (just look at any online discussion of old politicians for example). This is not the case!
