    73% of Americans favor age limits -- same support for both parties and independents, and huge support among old people

    Top limit should be 60 years old. Politicians, more than most, need to have the pulse of the nation, and old people don't represent the nation (they represent the past), people 45 and under do. If we want to move forward generation by generation, we need younger people as politicians.

     

    So are you running or should I write you in?

    Happiness: 9/10

     

    Happiness is a semi satirical horror tv show. It follows a couple of officers who married each other under unusual circumstances (because to get an apartment your personal score goes up if you're married). It takes place hot on the heels of covid where another outbreak has taken place. This time it's due to a defective pneumonia drug called NEXT. Anyone who takes the drug effectively turns into a zombie. (Could this be the show the Resident Evil haters wanted by a different name? 🤔 @Phaseknox ) So when the outbreak happens the couple are forcefully quarantined inside their apartments (the military puts up barriers around the apartments) and everyone in the apartment must survive until a cure is developed. Now this isn't your typical zombie situation, for those like @Greatoneshere who allegedly have "zombie fatigue" because the infected do not stay in zombie form. So the show has almost a "The Thing" vibe going on since you never know who is infected.

     

    But the show is also almost a parody of real life, perhaps similar to what we had already gone through. The people who live in the apartment all have self centered priorities they value over everything else. The building representative is not concerned with the disease or anyone who is affected but rather how it will affect the real estate price of their apartment. A guy who lives with his parents and streams all the time, only concerned with his viewers rather than the safety of anyone else. It continues to showcase that all lawyers are cowards. And so on.  Speaking of lawyers it has Baek Hyun-Jin in it, if you recall he showed up in another show, The Devil Judge, as an almost Trumplike president. Somehow on this show he's become an even bigger piece of scum. Usually it's a sign of poor writing if a character does something dumb, but this show is smartly written in that you could believe that anyone of these people would compromise the survivors to get what they want

     

    Happiness is a captivating watch from beginning to end. At only 12 episodes it doesn't wear out it's welcome and achieves what it sets out to do. A fresh take on "zombie" type media.
