Are Americans Too Old?

- littlexsparkee 4mo agoit's kind of a weird headline, the issue is about the power wielded by the old, not necessarily the share of the population that is (though this comes with its own problems like fiscal solvency and after all, power follows from representation)
- newaccountman2 4mo agoyh lol but we all get what it means, I think
- damnesian 4mo agoI'm old. I am not rich in the pecuniary way, but in friendship and canine companionship. And I eagerly support young candidates. I don't want to be led by good ole boys and gals who refuse to relinquish power and represent with antique ideas. We're not all jealous horders. Some just want to live in peace and are generous in spirit. And I bet you a $250 bill that we are legion.
- BugsJustFindMe 4mo agoYou may be legion, but your particular legion is unfortunately never in power for obvious reasons.

- woondrFall 4mo agoFew are engaged in anything meaningful for the future of the species And if you are going to argue "well for them their lives are still meaningful" So it is for the youth they exploit and expropriate to prop up their wealth They can go build bird houses and fly kites. The whole "line go up thing" is just a hallucinated meaningful effort
