How else am I to interpret the fact they stated the person's age in the title? I came to the comments specifically looking for discussion on why the person's age is relevant. To me, specifying the age like this is an attempt to pull at the heart strings of some poor defenseless senior citizen being victimized.
It's just another example of an asshat corporation doing asshatery. Would the story be any different if it was a 59yo? 49yo? 39yo? No. Corp is an asshat in every example age offered.
