We need a maximum age for all government positions in the US. The science says at around 70 is when humans start losing their mental faculties (on average).
It’s not just about that though: The government shouldn’t be run by old people! And by, “old” I mean over 70. That way there’s no ambiguity.
Make it a maximum age that increases with life expectancy. Want to remain longer in government? Work to increase the average life expectancy of the entire populace.
Keeping people alive longer doesn’t necessarily mean they stay capable of doing their jobs longer. It should be a fixed age that’s only changed if there’s a breakthrough in preventing cognitive decline.
You think? I don’t think 35 is too young. In fact, we don’t know because we’ve never tried. JFK was youngest at 43 and considered one of the best. Mid thirties is peak mental and physical health with enough time to foster education and experience in my view.
For instance, if AOC became president after 35, she’d be fantastic independent of how slow the rest of the geriatrics around her hold her back.
Ultimately if you can go to war, you should be able to run for office. Age maxes make more sense for several reasons than age minimums.
There was a proposal by a satirical party a couple of years ago about limiting voting for elderly by the same amount of years as it takes for people to become eligible to vote.

I have two degrees but no friends. All the blue collar people I know are much more locally connected than the more educated ones. Maybe my part of the world is just that extra bit dysfunctional.
I’ve read this headline like 5 times today and I keep coming back to the idea that, absent trump, just imagine that whole sentence “angering” anyone. What assholes.
I can tell you exactly how it will play out. They will move all the “immigrants” to centralized tent cities like the cunt in Arizona used to house prisoners. Then they will build border camps to act as transit stations and start moving people there to then push them back across the border. Then as they crow about how efficient and well their machine runs countries like Mexico will tell the US to get fucked and won’t take the “immigrants.”
Somewhere in there, someone with private prison donors will come up all by their lonesome with no help from private prisons that these “immigrants” on the border would make for cheap labor to build a border wall, and oh, by the way, we could rent this “immigrant” labor out to farms to pick crops.
Eventually, they will run out of “immigrants,” and they will start on suspected “immigrants” and naturalized citizens because did they really do it legally, or did those dirty Dems just green light the green cards? Basically, brown people better have papers or you go back to brown people’s land.
All that will end in some good old slave labor because let’s face it, USA loves it some slave labor. And if they start dying just don’t worry about it, you can be assured they did the very best they could to save those dirty subhuman brown peo…I mean “immigrants.”
“The same people who are funding AIPAC are the same people who are behind any other corporate interest, any other interest that’s against the will of working class people, of marginalized people.”
It’s the evil zionist globalist bankers Jewish conspiracy!
Bowden would have lost without AIPAC as well. Him trying to skate the Free Palestine movement was a desperate move, when he was already doing badly.
No antisemitism to be seen. The same people is referencing people who think they can buy policy and politicians, regardless of what people want. That is what’s happening here.
Well I mean yeah they could, but I think most of them know that if they do their seat will remain vacant because Congress will keep blocking new appointments.
On bodycam vids on YT, they are absolutely afraid when they have to clear a car or home. They bring in a shield (if they can) and worry about every corner.
All listed prices should be the final maximum cost for any specific product. “Additional fees may apply” should not be allowed, as they exist to deceive the user about the final cost.
Upcharges for additional things is fine, as long as the customer knows what the additional cost is.
Also, tipping needs to fuck off and all employees need to be paid a living wage. If businesses can’t pay a living wage they don’t need to exist.
Yup, at this point it’s just false advertising. Per the article, restaurant owners are saying they want to keep menu prices low as to not scare off customers, which is really just a fancy way of saying they’d rather bait them on the promise of low prices, and then ram the full cost of the meal up their asses at the end of it.
Just roll everything (cost/taxes/tips/fees) into the menu price. This constant bait and switch in the US needs to finally die. If you won’t survive by showing the true costs your customers need to pay, maybe you need to rethink your business model or find a new profession.
The way I see it, if a restaurant can’t provide a living wage and also provide reasonably priced food, then the restaurant is being run poorly and the money is not being managed properly.
