Have you ever seen a 70 year old explain how to use an iphone or Instagram to a 20 year old? The idea of being a politician is \u201ctheoretically\u201d to support, and to work on behalf of, the people in the area that you are representing. Maybe you\u2019ve heard the term \u201cpublic servant\u201d. This term is relevant because politicians are supposed to serve the public.<\/p>\n\n\n\n But at what point, does age prevent someone from doing their job effectively?<\/p>\n\n\n\n As an independent member of the public (not a republican or a democrat) I think it\u2019s logically reasonable, that those who are serving in the best interest of the public are qualified.<\/p>\n\n\n\n With over 330 million people in the United States, there\u2019s certainly no shortage of qualified people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n It\u2019s clear to anyone who\u2019s even been in contact with elders in their 80\u2019s and 90\u2019s, that at some point mental health, clarity, and ability starts to decline. This is just a fact of life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n So why are there no rules, regulations, or policies for the Maximum age of our politicians? Simple science has proven that age plays a large part in mental decline.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Let\u2019s dive in to why age matters in politics. ESPECIALLY WITH TECH TODAY<\/p>\n\n\n\n Like most things in politics these days, often peoples opinions are pre-determined by which political party they belong to and where the idea came from.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Probably not. So why is that same older politician in charge of making the laws for Facebook, Apple, and other tech companies to follow.
