#uspol warning
We should create like an "old timers" league in the Senate and Congress. Like after you hit some age (say 70) you are allowed to stay in office, but with diminished authority. say you can't vote, but you get to be an advisor for the reps who came after you or something.
After you realize that most of the geriatric people in our congress spent literally their *lives* trying to get where they are, no wonder they have a hard time stepping down. So why not give them an "off ramp" from power in a way where we can save their precious ego from being hurt.

@feld
oh i agree - they don't. but like boomers aren't just gonna walk away from power without some incentive. it's wild to think how little relative power Gen X has due to prior generations not getting out of the way.

@pete_wright Crash the economy, bankrupt their dirty money donors and lobbyists, and they'll have nothing left. But we will have an economy that returns to a level of sanity and normalcy
