Considering we are continually being ruled by septuagenarians, maybe we can adjust our assumptions about what older people are capable of.
- swiley 5y agoRegardless of their capabilities they get targeted by this sort of thing pretty aggressively and "App Stores" seem to do little to stop it.
- drewzero1 5y agoThis is a fair take, but a double-edged one as well. We definitely need to give older folks more credit. At the same time, maybe it isn't the best situation to be ruled primarily by people's grandparents.
- true_religion 5y agoI don’t disagree but at least in the US, the eldest generation is the largest voting block. And they have the perk of having influenced society for 50+ years, laying down an attractive track record of achievements, and most importantly convincing the next largest voting block (their children) to have roughly the same ideals. Although the young skew away from their grandparents ideals, people who are in their 40s and 50s tend to vote similarly.
