I mean, yeah, but it’s a good thing.
We only fix this problem of overaged politicians by some generation “skipping their turn”.
If Gen X doesn’t do it, then the problem stays around.
I’d much rather have a competent future oriented government during my retirement than a bunch of (by that point) out of touch people because they waited for their turn.
If “stepping aside” as a generation is what fixes, well, that’s what Gen X has been training for our whole lives. I don’t see why I shouldn’t vote for younger generations simply because I’m older than them.
As an Xer I agree. I have been that way at work to. I avoid management like a plague and wish for younger folk. Like a lot of things if I was going to do that crap I should have been able to start younger. Honestly I don’t want to deal with the stuff that came out of the generation before, I hope the next gen has the energy for it.
I feel this comment in my millennial bones.
