Old people are in the same group, though age is definitely related to unattractiveness.

With many sick people, it's also impossible not to discriminate (although that also correlates heavily to getting old).

Discriminating by age isn't always unreasonable. It's useful to have different generational perspectives in many areas. For example, I think it's a serious issue that the average age of public servants in Congress is so advanced.

The older generations are responsible for training and passing the torch onto the younger generations. The older generation can't keep clinging onto power until they die off.

Congress is full of corrupt people, it has nothing to do with age discrimination. You won't get an old person ever joining the party, all the people who you are talking about built their political power by being corrupt for all their lives.

,, The older generations are responsible for training and passing the torch onto the younger generations.''

That's not how the world works anymore. But of course experienced people are payed well to manage unexperienced.
