Can we get some young politicians elected who has a degree in IT ? Boomers dont understand technology that's why these companies keeps screwing the people.

It's because they're corrupt and young people are just as susceptible to lobbyists bribes, unfortunately. The gerontocracy doesn't make things better though, that's for sure.

True but that doesn't mean it wouldn't be better to have politicians who have a better understanding of the systems they're legislating. "People can be bribed" isn't a good excuse to not change anything.

Definitely, I didn't mean to sound too defeatist.
