It's personally relevant. This decision means I can't expect to be hired based on qualifications, and am left with the options of staying in a job that treats me badly, or striking out blindly to create a business while paying for my own healthcare.
The court decision is a warning that money increasingly trumps justice in America. The article notes that historically, interpretation of age discrimination laws paralleled race discrimination theory. This court ruling carves out a corporate right to discriminate in hiring on the basis of age.

You hit the nail on the head, your age has nothing to do with you being able to perform the job.
