    Holy shit, I had to check whether this was the onion or not on this one.

    I susppect that billionaires prefer young people in certain roles because many young people lack the experience to recognize evil instructions.

      Young people are often easier to mold and manipulate. It makes sense.

    I know I’ve wanted younger people in government, but I was hoping for people in their 30’s or 40’s. These kids can’t even rent a car legally. I’ve got a feeling that they’re just puppets.

      Speaking as a former puppet: all of Capitol Hill/much of D.C. is run by 20-somethings like this, precisely because they’re easy to manipulate.

                Its speaking to people. They also subtly make fun of a lot of corporate BS. The acting is top notch, the writing is fantastic, the story is intriguing, the cinematography is perfect, the sets, everything is on point. Well worth watching.

      You can rent a car at 18, at least in Colorado and California. I’m pretty sure it’s everywhere though

        I was under the impression it was 25. We were both kinda wrong, though. Minimum age is 18, but that only exists in New York and Michigan. Everywhere else is 21. Anyone under 25 is expected to pay an additional cost per day that they have the vehicle. TIL

          25 is usually when you’re not considered a high risk driver and your insurance rates are supposed to drop.

    They are feeding all communications from devices into AI right now, both a massive security breach and they are calculating and creating an enemies list. Watch.

      I’d rather drink and play video games while I’m waiting for the Alphabet Boys to show up. I don’t wanna stress out peeking out the window.

        Sadly this is how I’m starting to feel. The problem is that means we are allowing this to happen.

          Funnily enough, most of the states where you’ll have to worry about the alphabet boys, also have Castle Doctrine laws. If they don’t have a warrant, Stand Your Ground. Take as many of them with you as you can.

          Best strategy for now is just volunteer a few days with local activist groups. Otherwise one is just letting this happen.

      If only there was a way to get someone in between too old to function and just old enough to function…mmmmm

      Oh well I guess it’s only 80 year olds or 18 year olds and NO OTHER CHOICE.

      ? How the hell they gonna get experience?

      By acting as assistants to professionals old enough to be trusted with real jobs and still young enough to remember where and why and how to do their jobs.

      Exactly like all of us non-trust-fund-babies did.
