My dad passed away in 2004, and mum is looking frail healthwise and understands as much about living in a technological world as anyone of her generation. Why are these people leading our countries? Ageism aside the prime candidates should be somewhere between age 40 and 65, any older and they're too detached from the realities of being sub 40 in the modern world. He'll I hear half the kids I work with of Sam walshes generation and occasionally feel like a dinosaur and I'm 41.
Yep.
But the problems facing the US go way beyond Biden & Trump. The first question to ask yourself is how the fck do these two get to be chosen to lead their respective parties!! There is palpable decline of both the Democrats and Republicans with resultant foolish disagreement and even hatred between the two. Yep, a civil war is on the cards - not like 1860 but could be ever bit as devastating. It is a nation divided against itself... something Abe Lincoln foresaw and was very worried about. China and Russia are loving it.
Once upon a time, the Dems & Reps were civil to each other and united on many policies. Each was more moderate than today's iteration. Enter the lunatics of the Far Left and Right. Now the Dems & Reps hate each other and do just about anything to spite the other. Result? Democracy and decency are in decay.
Only our ruthless best, from Board to bootstudders will get us no. 17
