I feel like mandating a certain number of years in some managerial governmental position would be more effective. Trump is basically a living example of how to get around that. Honestly a lot of democracy kinda assumes people elect competent and honest leaders and a lot of humanity are just brainwashed morons so we're stuck with what we got :/.

I'm just upset that there's no maximum age limit. If they are fine with a minimum why isn't there a maximum?

What a joke that turned out to be

Yeah, that's the idea. But then you have people like Trump come in and not have any experience.

“The idea” no longer means jack shit, unfortunately.

Getting so old your brain starts melting was less of an issue back then.

You were an experienced master or your craft at the age of 35 all the way 250 years ago. People made it to their 80s but your life expectancy was much lower. Basically 35 was the perfect age.

What we need is an amendment to make this reflect modern life.

I'd support (HALF median life expectancy ±15 years determine at the start of the election year). Gives you a middleing generation so the extremes are not super underrepresented and it makes sure they have some life under their belt.

Edit: added "HALF"

Absolutely. Housing crisis in full swing here and yet 55+ communities are somehow still legal. Infuriating that it works to the benefit of the old fucks by earmarking plenty of available units for only them, but when the young people want to get rid of it so they can have a shot at property ownership too, suddenly you're an ageist.

And some old people lash out at me for stating the system is unfair. They need to learn to pass the torch.
