She could easily have had her staff respond to the letter with a generic non-comital answer:

Dear , thank you for your interesting letter about , I am always glad when our younger generations shows an interest in the future of our great nation.

is important and requires careful thought as there are many different factors to consider.

My advice to you is to keep studying to be ready when the day comes when your generation will take the responsibility of guiding the nation forward, based on your letter you are well on your way on that journey.

Thank you again for your letter.

This is just something I wrote on my phone at 04:30 while I couldn't sleep, it promises nothing but is generally positive.

They don't care anymore, they know they have won.

[-] stoy@lemmy.zip 12 points 2 months ago

Slight correction:

they are convinced they have won

It is time to prove them wrong.

They won when it was decided that America would rather have a tyrant than a woman.

Virginia Foxx brought up the national debt in her reply. (Which is somehow never a concern when giving tax cuts to the rich or raising the military budget).

How to solve the national debt in 1 simple step:

  1. Don't pay it.

can we please just institute an upper age limit on politicians already? If there's a lower limit on age because young people are "impulsive" and whatnot, how can anyone justify letting 80 year olds hold office?

[-] ferrule@sh.itjust.works 5 points 2 months ago

There should be a low upper limit as well as term limits. You should be expected to have multiple years of working after your term so in theory you have to exist in your own policy. Politicians should be 30 to 50, serve two terms and max out at two roles in state or federal. This would fit perfectly with the time frame where you could be in congress and then POTUS/VP/Cabinet or do Congress and then Senate and that is it.

The likelihood of this type of reform is 0.

Dumb kid. Electric cars are stupid. You’re stupid for thinking they are cool. I bet you still wet the bed.

Electric cars make stupid noises and sound like alien UFOs. They only go like half the speed of a gas vehicle because they were made by communists.
