If there's a silver lining to the Parkland shooting, hopefully it's that it motivates young people to vote. I saw recently that in the 2014 midterms that only 16% of 18-30 year olds voted, while the number is close to 60% for boomers. Not blaming young people for our problems, as they're the least responsible, but there has to be a way to get them to vote in larger numbers (chicken or egg possibly--pols won't talk about issues important to young people because they don't vote, and they don't vote, because pols don't speak to their issues). I have a one month old, so I was recently looking at the projected price of college in 2034, and fuckin a if it won't make you choke. Some courageous candidate starts talking serious higher ed policy and just maybe kids start paying attention.
