Thanks for covering this again. I intend to write my congressman (GenX) to have him encourage pre-boomers and boomers to announce retirements before the 2026 primary cycle.

I look at people in Congress like Grassley and Pelosi with utter horror -- it's not merely a partisan issue. Do these people even worry about developing leaders within their own parties?

Pelosi in particular was horrid to her own party - she could have been helpful to someone who came after her, but no, she had to cling to power.

The pre-Boomers are literally dying out. The Boomers aren't as old, but they need to think hard about their situations. Morbidity is a real issue, not only mortality.
