> In this country you can't discriminate based on age

You can’t legally discriminate against people because of age over 40; otherwise age discrimination is legal.

Also, most forms of illegal discrimination are routine, much of the work of HR and management training in regard to discrimination exists to make sure that hiring managers know what domcumentation needs to reflect irrespective of the true basis of personnel decisions so that illegal discrimination is difficult to prove (that’s not how it is framed, of course, because the training itself is part of the record.)
