Hello, everyone.

This is Enta.

It looks like we're getting another new prime minister.

This is just my personal opinion, but first of all, I’d like to see a mandatory retirement age of 60 for politicians, so that any pressure from those who’ve retired is rendered无效 lol

So, what do you think about limiting Cabinet membership to people 55 or younger, and making sure the Prime Minister is also 55 or younger?

Basically, I just think there are too many grandpas and grandmas.

Isn't this starting to look a lot like those old senior citizens' clubs of the past?

I suspect that most of them probably don't even know what Construction CALS or i-Construction are.

It seems like even the Minister of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism might be asking, “Do you even know what DX is?”

It’s not that I want you to know everything, but I thought it would be better to have a clear understanding of at least the basic policies and direction. Still, when I think about how it’s actually the bureaucrats who run the country, I can’t help but wonder what’s going on, lol.

Anyway, I get the feeling that unless we start incorporating some younger perspectives, the declining birthrate will only accelerate in the future, don't you think?

Are there any topics worth discussing even for grandparents who have already seen it all?

People who don't know what's going on right now (who don't know the real situation) think, "The future is only XX years away? What's the point of people even talking about the future?"

Suppose I’m 70 years old right now and start thinking about the future: “Is my time coming yet?” “Will I still be alive next year?” “Did that guy pass away too?” “It’s already the end of the year, isn’t it?” “I can’t hear very well these days,”

If you weren't working, wouldn't you be thinking about stuff like that? lol

I think that even among politicians, there are very few who are constantly thinking about the country.

Is the Cabinet “Aging”? What We Learned by Digging Into the Data

https://business.nikkei.com/atcl/seminar/19/00067/110600041/

On September 15, 2020, the executive committee supporting Yoshihide Suga, who had just been elected president of the Liberal Democratic Party, was unveiled. The group’s “advanced age” became a topic of discussion, with some people even referring to them as “5G (Grandpas)” based on their lineup. In the postwar era, due to measures such as disqualification from public office, it might seem as though a younger generation than today’s was driving politics. But what was the reality? We collected and analyzed our own data to investigate.

Since there are articles like this, it seems quite a few people must be thinking the same thing.

And when the population gets too old, young people lose interest and end up not caring about politics, right?

For the sake of Japan’s future—and for the future of the construction industry and slope-construction workers—it’s better to have younger politicians!

I think that approach will lead to efforts to strengthen our infrastructure, build a city that can withstand disasters, and create an environment that encourages people to have more children.

For now, I think it would be best to start fresh: dissolve the opposition parties, dissolve the Liberal Democratic Party, have those who are over the age limit resign, and then reorganize with the remaining members.

We don't need opposition parties anymore lol (as things stand now)

However, I think Prime Minister Garsu has been doing a good job.

All things considered, I think he managed to get the job done while taking the heat.

Thank you for your hard work.

I just assume that people who only criticize from the safety of the sidelines must have a lot of free time, lol.

See you later.
