Well I guess I got one, maybe 2 elections to get a small time gov job lol. But I feel like voting should be cut off at 70 as well. There's just too many things to go wrong with that, meaning "ok grandma it's all filled out, just sign here" or old folks homes and stuff. We would have to enshrine SSA, and Medicare/Medicaid to protect them from attacks on benefits, but people that close to death shouldn't be forcing their ancient views on society moving forward. It really doesn't matter here though. We're not getting another election, not without a fight.
I meant getting elected. As for old people voting, you have a point, but if old people's views don't matter at all, then you can easily imagine a world where policy doesn't care about them, which might be dangerous.
I just wish we had fewer old people. It sounds like I'm arguing for a purge... But I just mean I wish our birth rates were stable instead of going all boom-and-bust.
