Ban Boomers from Government? (Yes, Immediately)

Here's why

This story starts on the rail trail near my house, which Boomers privatized the maintenance thereof, which is why it’s marred with dog feces and pedophilic graffiti.

In this era of slow-but-compounding collapse, I pick up more than 4,000 pieces of garbage per year. (Frankly, I would vote in favor of public floggings for litterers; buying one of those trigger-controlled pick-up sticks was the next best option.)

A Boomer walked past as I stuffed a handful of energy drink cans and potato chip bags into the red trash can.

“It’s a shame kids litter,” he said. “I don’t litter. And I don’t even care about the planet anymore, because I’m old.”

Yikes.

It reminded me of the video going around social media showing a bunch of Parisian Boomers swing-dancing by the Seine while Third-Worlders burn ancient buildings across the river.

It got me thinking about the mindset of many Boomers these days — anyone over sixty who owns rental properties, is a shareholder with a thick investment portfolio, went to school for free but gets furious at the thought of jubileeing student debt, or expects the next generation to buy their inflation-overpriced homes and be enslaved to bankers forever — and certainly the majority of the Boomers in positions of political power:

They materially don’t give a damn about the future.

Just look at Donald Trump or Nancy Pelosi.
Or Hilary Clinton or Mitch McConnell.
These I-go-for-mine sociopaths should be nowhere near politics.

Sure, they talk a big game, but if you mute their mouths and look at their actions, it’s clear — the spirit of Boomerdom plans to drag our world to hell in their hand basket.

Now, to be clear, I am extremely sympathetic to the plight of non-millionaire Boomers. They worked hard, often physically, for decades, to enrich shareholders, bankers, and landlords. They were duped into believing they’d be taken care of in old age, if only they played the Mammonomics game.

Now, as my most popular article of the year points out, Boomers are about to get absolutely wrecked.

The Boomers-in-politics debate comes down to a simple question:

Should old people be allowed to decide the fates of people who will live for sixty, seventy, eighty years after they’re gone?

I vote nay.

Everyone over sixty should be banned from making laws.

I’m not saying they shouldn’t be allowed to work in the Civil Service, etc etc. Just that they shouldn’t be allowed to legislate.

For the record, I also don’t think anyone under the age of 30 should be writing laws, either.

(Especially the millions of mashed-potato-brained teenagers who think LGBTQIA+ rights and Islam can peacefully co-exist long-term. LOL!)

What did Thoreau say?

One must stand up to live before one sits down to write.

So let’s split the difference:

No one under 30 can be elected to government; no one over 60 can be elected to government.

This ensures no one without a fully developed cerebral cortex gets anywhere near power, and also ensures no one with zombie-like advanced dementia gets to run the White House and/or Senate.

It also ensures no one in office gets to exercise power without accountability.

Politicians should have to endure the results of their evil decisions for at least a generation. That’s why sixty is such a good age cap. They’ll have to endure 25+ years of scorn and hatred and collapse and jail time if they pull the crap Boomers are currently pulling.

Suicide, homicide, genocide… here’s a new word for your vocab: Civicide. To kill a civilization.

Letting old people destroy our society, economy, and planet without recourse is evil and must be stopped.

Power without accountability is tyranny.

Everyone over sixty should be banned from making laws.

But what about all those wonderful old wise people with tons of experience from decades in government?!

I’m sorry, who and what are you talking about?

There are zero wonderful old wise people who’ve been in government for decades.

The house of politics is like living in a moldy, demon-run, live-disease laboratory without a hazmat suit and the armor of God.

Eventually, the rot and sleaze become part of you.

That said, there are some incredible, genuinely wise Boomers outside of politics.

And there are some genuinely brilliant, clued-in, forward-thinking young people.

So in addition to government (now ages 30–60), we create two councils:

1. The Council of Elders (ages 60+)

2. The Council of Youth (ages 16–29)

Set up like citizen assemblies, the council members are chosen at random, like a military draft or jury duty. Service is mandatory. Costs are covered. Terms run for a year.

The councils critique government legislation. Deeply. And loudly.

And here’s a really fun idea:

If the council of elders and the council of youth both agree the government is dead wrong on an issue, they have statutory powers to veto the piece of legislation until after the next election.

Just a reminder, there’s a way to stay for free all over the world without a.) getting ripped off by the Expedia cartel and b.) not making people homeless like the Airbnb mob. We love it.
