Isn’t it time for us to stand up?

What do you mean? Where and by whom are you being treated unfairly? You don’t help matters by describing those on GN as ‘us older folk’. I don’t know how old you are but at 74 I don’t identify as a member of ‘us older folk’ and I can’t identify anything about which I need to complain or to which I need to stand up. Perhaps you could be more specific about your problem?

Feeling so frustrated with the state of things.

I wish there was someone who would lead us older people into pushing for fair treatment.

We (and I include myself in this) seem to be discussing things and complaint but not standing up for ourselves.

Surely there’s someone out there with the skills to kickstart a group.
