Lawd! Listening to Mitch McConnell and Joe Biden speak

back-to-back is painful. These guys are barely hanging on. I fully expect to see them and Feinstein wheeled up to the podium on a stretcher, unconscious, while an aide reads their spech for them.

So here's what happened.

The Boomers refused to do what the generation before them did: Hand over the reins, and die.

This was exacerbated by the Gen X'ers who by and large wanted nothing to do with power (or Boomers).

As a result, there's a generation-sized gap throughout our society. I think we'll start seeing a difference once the Boomers finally leave (RIP) and the Millennials take control.

Falsehood flies, and truth comes limping after it, so that when men come to be undeceived, it is too late; the jest is over, and the tale hath had its effect: like a man, who hath thought of a good repartee when the discourse is changed, or the company parted; or like a physician, who hath found out an infallible medicine, after the patient is dead.
- Jonathan Swift


Not a bad analysis. It's beyond pathetic.

It's mind-bottling to thing that two dinosaurs like Trump and Biden will likely be our choices once again, when the majority of the people desperately want somebody younger. Just not enough to actually make it so. Something is bad wrong with us.

We should extend an invitation to the P bored to all elected officials in Warshington over the age of 75. Get them in here and teach them a thing or two. Then, if they behave and aren't a-holes, we could vote to let them into The Jounge.

We would be doing our country a favor if we could lure them away from DC, and we could have some fun with them at the same time.

As a Gen X’er - I’m ashamed that you may be correct to a large degree regarding our apathy.

However, although apathetic - we are still the masters of being judgmental and omnipotent.

Let it be entered into the record that Cata is against longer life spans.

And why not, sayeth I. Nobody lives forever, and who in their right mind would want to?

In Durham, we proposed that if you can't do a pull up, you don't get to serve in Congress. If you can't do two, you can't be president.
