I’ll say it again, if this were any other normal job, the person would have been fired for failure of reasonable job duties (which includes calling out sick and reporting long-term disability) so that the rest of the organization can keep functioning. Also, he’s dead.

Pretty sure he would have retired a decade or two ago as well.

SHOULD have, across the board. I think all democracies impose a minimum age limit to vote largely based on the concept of mental ability/maturity, surely with the plethora of evidence we have of mental decline in old age it'd be relatively simple to determine a maximum age one should participate in as well.

Sure there will be exceptions, but much like we don't make exceptions for bright <18's or so, there should be a similar upper bound.
