Joe Biden has settled into the BarcaLounger and Burn Notice phase of his life. Which is fine! My dad is there too, and in a slightly less-imperfect world, they’d be going on adventures to the mall and linen-soaked jazz cruises together.

Imagine a world where medical advances extend life to 500 years. Old people stuck in their ways would just keep accumulating wealth and power, and by the time they died, someone only slightly less old would step into their places. Progress would be a lost concept.
It’s good we get eighty years or so and then make room for our kids.
Joe’s had his turn, he should make room.
