    There’s the culmination of experience people in that decade. Those who retire from useful careers to bring that expertise to the table. Doctors, nurses, scientists, scholars.

    The primary issue is fossilized lawyers and the rest existing on inertia. When inertia is your driving force it’s time to leave the role. Instead, that is the majority of our politicians.

    This also guards against more Feinsteins & Trumps.
