In my view, the gerontocracy is a side effect of deeper, systemic issues: too much power in incumbency, too much power placed in the hands of the hands of too few, too much power given to money. I would prioritize these three changes to fix our democracy:

  1. Publicly funded elections
  2. Uncap the House
  3. Term limits on the Supreme Court

That’s it. Everything else flows downhill from there.

Thanks for the paywall free link. I didn't realize it had a paywall as it worked fine for me, it must have a certain number of "free" views.

Happy to! Thanks for posting it originally. FT does good reporting, their paywall is obnoxious.
