We need to stop electing people into office who are a generation behind the rest of the world. In the US we’re (re-)electing octogenarians. In the EU it seems the average lawmaker is 10-15 years older than the average citizen. Experience is commendable, but it’d also be great if the people legislating our future lived in our present instead of our past. You can’t buy a house working full-time at Sears anymore grandpa. No grandpa, I don’t just have a 20% down payment saved up for that 360k house. The average citizen pays more for a loaf of bread, some Kraft singles, a dozen eggs, and a can of beans than they make in an hour.
