    no it isn’t. the problem is they don’t give a shit. stop giving demons who demonstrate the demonic intents publicly the benefit of the doubt when there is no doubt. they hate you and want you to slave away for the benefit of their owners until you die of a preventable disease you couldn’t afford to get treated for.

    GenX here, guilty. Just started a job for $15/hr. 11-years ago I started an IT job at $16/hr., and that was pretty good, more than I’d ever been paid. Hard to get your head around inflation when your attitudes where concreted when decades younger.

    Age Limit yes.

    Term Limit no.

    The short version is term limits actually turbo boost corruption. The long version is something I’m willing to post tomorrow if anyone wants. Basically the party gets to decide the seat and those decisions will happen behind closed doors. Insurgent candidates are certainly possible but seriously outgunned and, crucially, term limited.

    Term limits were a compromise for the olds.

    We need to stop compromising with old people, and start hurting their feelings until they resign.

    Age limits hurt boomer feelings, and that’s a good thing.
