Let's make this birthday one to remember.

78 years old (Born on December 01, 1946)

Happy Birthday, Jimmy McMillan! Another year older and wiser—but one thing remains unchanged: the rent is still too damn high! Your passionate advocacy has given voice to countless New Yorkers who nod vigorously every time they write that monthly check. Even though political office eluded you (so far!), your iconic beard and unforgettable catchphrase have secured a permanent spot in pop culture history.

Here's wishing you another fantastic year filled with laughter, activism, and maybe—just maybe—a landlord finally lowering their prices. Keep fighting the good fight; after all these years of dedication, you've proven beyond doubt you're never "too damn old" for greatness!
