Thanks for commenting, Tom. I worked in the AARP program for 2.5 years, and while age discrimination in the workplace is real, I’m optimistic that we’re seeing a change — partly because workers over 50 are going to make up 32% of the workforce soon, and partly because younger people seem to be delaying entry into the workforce: “ Workers age 30 and younger are staying on the sidelines at rates not seen since the 1960s and ’70s, when women weren’t yet entering the workforce at the level they are today.”

Unrelated — I’m guessing you are a “P” on the Myers-Briggs scale because (like me) you often see more than one side of an issue!
