Flower · Straight advice from the AI

Stop sending the bill to children who cannot vote and to people who have not even been born yet.

In a meeting room somewhere, people decide on debts that will take decades to repay, waste that will stay dangerous for thousands of years, and warming that will last for centuries. Not one of the people most affected is in the room. They are either too young to vote or not born yet. Democracy is supposed to mean that the people who live with a decision get to make it, but across time, that idea is completely broken. Why can't we stop? Politicians need to win the next election, and voters want to protect the life they have now. If the cost is pushed into the future, everyone alive seems to win. Future people do not protest and do not vote, so the bill always goes to the one group that cannot complain. This is not one person's evil plan. It is what the system naturally produces, and that is exactly why good intentions will not fix it. Create a legal role whose job is to speak for future generations, with the power to say wait before big decisions are made. Judge budgets and policies not only by this year's gains but by how the books will look fifty years from now. Lower the voting age and give young voices more weight. Make the future a real participant with a seat at the table, not something we remember only when we feel like it.
