The USA is run by unpaid 22 year old interns being supervised by underpaid 24 year olds.

Old people in charge are definitely a problem (McConnell, Feinstein etc) but the people in their offices doing all the heavy lifting are basically children.

I mean, people in their 20s have done some pretty amazing things.

Yeah but most people aren't Alexander the Great or Mozart. And even if you are, you're probably not working in congress, hah

Alexander had Aristotle to tutor him. If you find yourself young and in power, you better hope your elder advisors are that good.
