What's wrong with 28? Attack them for who they are, but we need younger people too.
"DOGE named Nate Cavanaugh, a tech entrepreneur and college dropout, as the USIP's acting president."
That's the alarming part.

The person in charge of USIP should be a person not only with a relevant advanced degree, but also at least couple decades of experience in international diplomacy. A 28 year-old hasn't been on earth long enough to even sort-of have the expertise required, even if we could charitably assume they chose a once in a generation child genius who got 2 PhDs by 16.
So, is this kid taking the full funding of usip and pocketing it or is his salary like $130k? Also, are we pretending the agency still exists, or what?
It's not a goverment agency, it's a non-profit org.
Then how can DOGE dictate who their president is?
They can't.
That's only if you are assuming they are expected to do anything other than be a placeholder whole it gets shut down. They are a loyal signature authority, full stop.
They're trying to gift themselves the USIP building aswell

This reminds me of an ad i saw for a 25 year old life coach.
28? That could very well be the most senior member of DOGE. Everyone older than that knows better.
