    I feel like we’re basically waiting for gen z to grow up and start running for the positions held by gen x / boomers.

    Bandaid solutions like increasing the number of foreign workers aren’t working and the cost of living is hitting insolvency. The older generations are realizing their retirement savings isn’t going to last and the younger generations are finding no place for them in this late stage capitalism.

    It would be ideal if grassroots movements were able to put in younger and better representatives in these immediate coming elections. But sadly I think we’re stuck on this course until it’s consequences start directly effecting political class individuals’ ability to participate in government and retire.
