Of course.

Will I am a prole.  A prole is anyone not currently employed by the government.  This is the Orwellian term, not dismissive or pejorative in any way unless used by non-proles.  I don’t think we have any non-proles on ExI as far as I know.

 

I am a geezer too.  So far it is a mild case fortunately.

 

Regarding the airbag coat, I have nothing against elderly non-proles.  We have a geezerly non-prole currently serving as POTUS and a still more geezerly one to be sworn in soon.  I would favor protecting them as well.
