I was just about to mention this, the relationship between life expectancy and age of politician would really help to interpret this data.
My hypothesis is that late stage capitalism has moved the ability to have the resources and freedom to run for office into later years since 1995 as inflation adjusted income stagnates.
Edit: anyone care to explain the downvoting? I clearly marked this as a hypothesis as signficant economic changes have occured during this time frame. I have asserted nothing as fact.
- linkregister 8y agoIt's probably the slur, "late stage capitalism" on a website for entrepreneurs and employees of for-profit companies.
- awat 8y agoFair enough, even as an employee for a large for-profit corp I’ve never thought of that term as a slur. Regardless It’s a catchall term that should probably be overwritten with more specificity. Thanks for taking the time!
