Yeah I feel like I sound more negative about this than I am. I think generally speaking we should be raising the age of consent (this is the most critical change, I'm not okay with it being 14 in places), raising the age you're allowed to start hiring at (seriously what the fuck Arkansas), prooobably leaving the driving age where it is though I've heard strong arguments 16 is the worst age for motor control, lowering the voting age, and raising the age you can buy lotto tickets and cigarettes at. In fact abolish the lottory. Tax the rich instead
