    What’s the problem with his age? It’s about time we start to replace the fucking boomers in government.

    There’s a lot of problems with Doge, but age isn’t one of them.

      There’s a decade or five in between “barely postgraduate” and “belongs in an assisted living facility.”

      I want people in charge of significant government functions to have significant lived knowledge and experience in the field.

      Agreed that the government needs younger people, but there’s a reason why the minimum age for president in the US is 36.

          The maximum age for the President, or someone in the Senate/Congress should be based on a percentage of the average livespan of everyone in the country.

          It’s adaptive and also incentivizes them to make choices which will benefit everyone’s health, rather than the health of the elite.
