Demographics play a part still having 70% of our government officials over the retirement age (*Germany) of normal people is a clinging to power problem.
- constantcrying 2y agoBeing a government official is also a terrible job, especially for a young ambitious person. Low numbers of young people also make it hard to push out people who still are in power. It's a direct consequence of demographics.
- BoredPositron 2y agoIt's only a terrible job if you want it to be we have more than enough government officials in the back ranks that miss 80% of sessions and get payed really well to just vote with their party. They should just have to retire when everyone else HAS to retire based on laws they introduced...
- constantcrying 2y agoSure, but how do you force them out if the entry level jobs are terrible and the aren't enough young people to take them anyway?
