    There is absolutely nothing wrong with older people holding positions of power.

    2 paragraphs in and I already disagree. Most older folks don’t have a fucking clue how the modern world works and have no business in positions of power.

      I will just say that life extention has made vampires of old men. with only a few exceptions, they express no real desire to hand the future to those who will be living it.

        I will just say that life extention has made vampires of old men [who are wealthy and powerful enough to acquire the necessary medical care]

        Being old doesn’t make you a bastard, it’s just that non-bastards don’t tend to survive to old age in our society

      Disagree, it’s that we let wishy-washy milk toast middle of the road politicians with no stances on anything stay in power because they don’t challenge the status quo or literally anything. Those people can stay in power until they die. People who want change get gone. It’s the America way sadly.
