But how about nobody over 75 is running the country. How about nobody you consider unwell is.

It’s almost like the constitution has a provision for this in the 25th amendment…

those in power

I think you found the reason.

Nah, lots of train nerds doing train nerd stuff.

Surprisingly little Thomas fan-mods tho.

Railroader. Lots of heavily-modded Railroader.

two decades younger.

We need somebody four decades younger than the current president.

Yeah but enough people would.

It’s a tough balance… tough to show the reality but also show how the perception is being manipulated in reporting.

It is interesting as the metaphor becomes reality though. Modern folks (and I mean anything post-gen-X) mostly don’t understand folders and especially filing cabinets, and that metaphor breaks badly with deep nesting, and symlinks/shortcuts and multiple different vies of the same content (e.g. google drive web vs desktop)…

It also leads to odd anachronisms like the floppy disk as save icon.

The thing is the metaphor was never perfect and it takes a long time to get enough people used to it, plus you have to be pretty consistent or people don’t realize the metaphor exists at all.
