Oh no! A contractor cut corners and 90 year olds dismt get the government policy right?! Quelle suprise!

Eh, let's not be ageist about this. Ignorant and corrupt legislation isn't caused by the elderly, it's caused by ignorance and corruption, which are not exclusive traits of elderly people.

For sure, but you'll note that the average age of Congress people is about 58 in the House and 64 in the Senate. It's not exactly correlation without causation - right now I see a lot of people that are solidly above 60 there that I wouldn't trust not to steal change from a donation bucket for orphans.
