    That’s right, and we have a lot of old people in key positions making decisions about technological advances. The infrastructure is quite poor compared to other countries. Mobile data is still very expensive in Germany. The list goes on…

      My grandma used to say “age is all in your head”. She was right.

      If you look at the typical decision makers, they tend to make a distinctly senile impression, regardless of how old they actually are. It’s less the age, and more the utter stupidity that will inevitably develop in a ruling caste that doesn’t need to fend for itself anymore, because they are so filthy rich that they can have all the work done for them by others. It’s a self perpetuating circlejerk of old privileged imbeciles teaching young privileged imbeciles their ways. Of course, all the young imbeciles can possibly learn this way is utter stupidity paired with insane levels of confidence. This is going to work fine exactly as long as the privileged imbeciles treat those who are doing their work for them alright and leave them enough freedom to do their work well. Once begin start treating them badly and start micromanaging, shit is going to go sideways.
