Boomers refusing to move on professionally and just slowly washing up to the top of every profession while becoming, in average, increasingly incapable of handling their accruing responsibilities exhausts me. The negative results are always exhaustingly predictable.
I'm already hearing bad things about the new Jon Stew*rt show, and I dunno what people expected. We didn't "need" him during Trump or now, he was great for the time he was in. Times have changed. Should have let him go off and produce, lobby, whatever;...
let people who have to live in this mess step up to take the lead instead of maintaining the gerontocracy run by those who aren't going to have to live through the climate apocalypse.
Keep moving or move on like the rest of us
Look this isn't universally applicable, but if you're practically retirement age, you're rich and you've basically been doing the same exact thing professionally for 20 years while younger people stall out underneath you because you're seen as a sure bet, maybe do something else?
And I like Stew*rt, but if you think a guy who grew up during the hippie era of politics and did a 'both sides are dumb' rally is going to step in and save politics... I dunno why? That brand of political humor & that way of seeing the world just... it's sorta the problem, right?
Anyway, I dunno maybe the show will be amazing, but I've just got no interest.
Also, if your construction of US Politics works in such a way that it requires an old TV personality to stay on the air for it to work... something is not adding up there, ya know?
