No one is advocating substandard performance by anyone regardless of age. The issue is that age, per se is not disqualifying.
Age has been used to disqualify pilots in the past just as race was used to disqualify people in the past. It was wrong then, it is wrong now.
You certainly get discounts at Looby’s and the movies for having a B-Day. You get SS and Medicare for having a birthday. You are first in line getting hired as a Walmart greeter for having a b-day.
