    I think the maximum age for any federal office should be tied to the average national life expectancy in some way, so that if these fucks want to keep their office they have a vested interest in passing policy that makes life expectancy go up.

      This is the first time I’ve seen a comment about upper limits on age I could see making some amount of sense. Most of the other stuff boils down to bUt tEh gErOnTaCrAcY which is just so tiresome.

      This is something that this futurist can get behind, for sure. I am watching these current asshats working directly against increasing the average life expectancy right when I think we are right on the cusp of making massive breakthroughs.
