1 year agoMaybe a hot take but career politicians are something that make sense in a democracy that is properly functioning. If a politician is sure that they won’t have to go work in industry after they are out of office they are less likely to feel the need to bend to the will of the oligarchs. But that is not how it has worked out so the idea itself seems much worse than it inherently is.
I feel like something where you have an age cutoff would be good though we shouldn’t have people that would be retired in any other position be hoarding the power from people that are younger.
Maybe link it to social security? Not sure what the best method to do it would be considering that medical advances hopefully mean that people will live longer and healthier lives.
