Folks who are over 60 years of age should not be making and setting rules for an entire country to follow. When you're that old, you're stuck in the past and the laws don't move forward with the public. Think of how many times you've to explain to your grandparents how "things are different now".

A gerontocracy doesn't directly relate to stock trading, but this old woman is saying very absurd things.

I agree. I am in my 50s and I can barely relate to the world my younger colleagues in their 20s live in. I can't even imagine how far people in their 70s and 80s are removed from the reality of younger people. They shouldn't make any decisions for the future of a country.

This is ageism, folks.

This descriptor is idiotic, although the assumption that 30 year old senators would fare better on corruption accounts is as well.
