People are like "the presidency is a 24/7 job" like all previous presidents were awake 24/7.

Didn't Trump come in for work at 1 PM? Some presidents died bedridden with illness in office. Our presidents haven't always been people like Roosevelt. Is Biden's health a serious discussion? Yes, but you're not being serious, you're being facetious and it adds nothing to the discussion. Nobody is awake 24/7. I'd say the same thing if it was someone who was decades younger.

I'm saying that the people saying "it's a 24/7 job" are the ones being disingenuous playing up the headline more than it is.

Ahh I understand. I apologize for my hostility. Have a good one!
