Honest question. Why do every generation's OLD people seem like they are all grumpy fucking assholes? It seems like OLD fucks mostly care about keeping status quo no matter how fucked up things are or are expected to become, just so that they can die in peace. The don't give a fuck what they means for their grandkids and their grandkids.

Are we all destined to become selfish pricks?

If we just had a limit of 68 or younger to take office for President that would’ve eliminated Trump, Biden, and Clinton… back in 2016. It’s unreal how old all our leaders are.

Seriously we should have an age cap.  IRS requires you take out retirement at 72.5 so back that up 4 years, you’d have to be younger than 68.5 by inauguration to be eligible to run.  35-68.5 seems like a reasonable age range.

Because America is never going to elect someone in their mid-30's as president. Old People in this country will never elect young people in this country because to be frank, they're too busy trying to make sure their worlds don't change too fast in ways that aren't comfortable for them. Additionally, we've never elected a woman as president, period, so that seems like a milestone we'd have to conquer first before it seems realistic we'd elect a younger woman to be president. Every side would shout that candidate down as inexperienced. Additionally, men here don't like to vote for women in general. Additionally, "average" women here don't like voting for young attractive women for shit. 

America can't have nice things.

Now watch us go elect one of the Kardashians.

Because when you get old you realize that the naive and idealistic view of the world that you’d held your entire life was completely and utterly wrong.

Airlines force retirement at age 65, so that would work, too.  Running our country is at least as important as getting airline passengers to their destination safely.  Fucking Boomers fucking things up.

Tut tut. Age 67/68 is eventually coming down the pike.

Management: see, we don't need to fund your retirement. Fly till you die.

Now back to hot northern Europeans plz.

Regardless of 65 or 67/68, I'd say that's a fair analogy.  If you're too old to fly a commercial airliner, you're too old to run the country.

They eat that salty licorice shit that all the scandinavian types love.  Not a fan.

But they're attractive, love to party, and kill the shit out of Russians.  All things considered, I love 'em.

I have previously observed that the fact that we now lust after heads of government reflects just how fucking old we've gotten.

 

 

But in this case, fuck that.  I'd have lusted after Sanna Marin 20 years ago.

I won't be able to do so, because I'll have a conflict of interest, because they'll all be romantically/physically entangled with me.

Goals and such.

And while we're discussing matters of political import in Finland, their government is actually a coalition government.  The leaders of that coalition are:

We have Joe, Chuck and Nancy, and Turtle McConnell.  Finland wins by 1,000 miles.
