Obviously you haven't been hanging around many career politicians or corporate executives.

The problem isn't that older people don't care, it's that the older people in charge don't care.

They're not dictators or petty royalty -- they didn't get into that role without having people elect them. They don't care because their electorate doesn't care; old white people in the US vote in large numbers.

Some of them would like to be and want to be treated as dictators and royalty.
