I know I've wanted younger people in government, but I was hoping for people in their 30's or 40's. These kids can't even rent a car legally. I've got a feeling that they're just puppets.

You can rent a car at 18, at least in Colorado and California. I'm pretty sure it's everywhere though

I was under the impression it was 25. We were both kinda wrong, though. Minimum age is 18, but that only exists in New York and Michigan. Everywhere else is 21. Anyone under 25 is expected to pay an additional cost per day that they have the vehicle. TIL

25 is usually when you're not considered a high risk driver and your insurance rates are supposed to drop.
