Current Events > I think the most important change we need in our government representatives....

(+) Yeah! (+)

we need younger representatives.

New BoA research basically confirms what we already know that baby boomers have been the beneficiary of a massive transfer or wealth over the last 40 years. Since WW2 basically everything has been rigged in the favor of baby boomers. Us younger generation is left fucked. Can't afford anything - cars and houses are unaffordable for the majority of younger people. (I'm talking 30s-40 year olds who have decent stable careers). Right now I'm surrounded by boomers at work who will be retiring soon. They look at me like I'm some rich guy because I drive a 10 year old audi and they drive accords and camrys. Meanwhile they're always bitching about the maintanence on their multiple rental properties, their vacation house maintanence, their international vacations. All these fucks refinanced all their shit at 2-3%, they are living well now.

I think we need younger people in congress. People who actually represent everyone and not just their own age bracket.

I don't care if they are older if they have good politics and aren't bought off or totally beholden to special interests.

I'll take 1 Bernie Sanders over 100 Matt Gaetz.

You some kind of ageist?

holy shit i can't believe no one thought of this before
