We already have age limits at the lower end. Why are people so against age limits at the upper end?

I am certainly not a fan of turtle dude, but that isn't a nice thing to say and isn't in line with the Beehaw philosophy. He doesn't have the same values as a lot of us, but everyone has friends and family that would miss them and be sad if they died. Instead of wishing bad on people, let's try to focus on positive change. He should retire...a lot of them should retire. What incentives do they have for NOT retiring? Money? What else? What incentives do they have TO retire? How do we make retiring look more inviting to them?

I'm loving this kind of commentary. Positive (different than apathetic or gullible) and practical. A huge contrast to some other places on the internet. Just wanted to say this is noticed and appreciated and will hopefully encourage others (including myself) to do better.
