The last leaders of the boomer era look set to cede their power to younger Gen X leaders across the political and business worlds.
  • Boomers are having their last dance in charge.
  • Gen X leaders are stepping up to replace the last of them.
  • Younger leaders are taking charge of politics and corporate giants such as Boeing, HSBC, and Costco.

    Expect future generations to mock us for what we believe acceptable.

    I sure hope so. If future generations aren’t making fun of me for how backwards I am then we’re not progressing.

      I’ll caveat that not all changes are ‘good’ changes too. The future generations might not value the things we hold dear, like the jury trial. One day maybe they’ll sadly see that as us wasting ordinary people’s time.

      People in the future are not automatically our betters, but our equals, (hopefully) armed with the knowledge of our failings and armed with that of our successes.

        I feel like the judge cannon stuff is a very good example of why jury trials are a thing. Corrupt judges are real yo

          Coming from a completely legal tradition: Jury trials are scary. Jurors can’t be nailed to the cross for perversion of justice, there’s no accountability. Also any more serious cases are not tried by judges, but panels of judges, often including lay judges.
