Why Depend On A 32 Year Old Engineer?

Ridiculous.
Isn't that a bit like depending on a 27 year old pilot?
People are not maturing at the rate they did when we had farm economies.
People are therefore confronted with more complex personal, educational, and career choices and problems at a time in Western culture when their ability to handle complex relationships on an
age-appropriate time-line has begun to erode.
My friends and I looked at our classrooms in the 90s and even some time before, remarking that we
could no longer tell an 18 year old male from one of 23 or 24.
The differences weren't physical. We could discern physicality distinctions. The differences were
emotional, social, and at times, psychological.
A lot of the young men almost seemed twelve and thirteen for quite a long time.
Are there no competent, mature, middle-classed men available for jobs of tremendous responsibility who were born circa 1970?
Or are there simply not enough competent, mature, middle-classed white men born circa 1965 or '70?
How can Bostian get an eight-car train from 0 to 106 miles in ten minutes, hit the emergency brake in an 11th minute, as he approaches a steep curve in the tracks, then forget those eleven minutes as he has the cool presence of mind to remember to pick up his bag, grab his phone, and call 911? Does he
think we are all daft?
Even a lady who lost her shoes in one TV testimony took a minute to recover before she knew she was barefoot.
And why would an engineer on that #188 route need to work without a co-pilot, so to speak, anyway?
Moreover, why would Congress continue to delay the satellite system NTSB (National Transportation Safety Board) has wanted for years which could stop a train before a dangerous derailment?
Either we respect each other in this society or we don't.
We don't live in a cash and carry world.
Rather than kill people, we need to realize borrowing and paying back are a way of life for saving lives.
We owe anyway. What are we trying to preserve if not our lives?
Our military-industrial complex is going to be a wasteland with no goods and services at all if we
continue to believe money is not to used, but to be Hoarded and Saved.
The 1% will find they have nothing to buy, and no one to purchase anything they have to sell.
People will not continue to believe in a society willing to hold them very, very cheaply.
Each generation will be more and more willing, in small incremental measures, to work down the
street from the house- or stay home with some sort of garden!
