Douthat has a very narrow view and doesn’t get out much if he thinks seniors are stealing the future. Most of us worked our asses off. I agree that old politicians funded by the rich need to step aside. Billionaires and corporations need to pay their fair share of taxes 🤬They won’t even feel it.

Not a fan of Douthat. Sam Moyn had some interesting comments based on his new book, Gerontocracy in America. Basically, two older white men, both Ivy League grads (Harvard & Yale), commenting on topics that don't really affect them. Next. www.nytimes.com/2026/07/30/o...

As might be expected, Moyn and his book are very popular in Silicon Valley. www.nytimes.com/2026/07/30/o...

Want to see who is fanatical about protecting entitlements? It's not the elderly. It's billionaires and corporations. Plus, billionaires and corporations took away retirement benefits that were promised to the elderly, so elderly are hoarding what little is left. www.nytimes.com/2026/07/30/o...

This interview really brought home how I will never ever watch Douthat on CBS. Overaggressive conservative zealot. Dying to pick a fight. To me he came across as immature and a bully. How Older Americans Hoard the Future @cbsnews.com.web.brid.gy @nytimes.com www.nytimes.com/2026/07/30/o...

Your reminder that politicians like @mikethompson.house.gov could resign and conclude their service in favor of someone more representative of their constituency at any time, but choose not to. www.nytimes.com/2026/07/30/o...
