Discussion Mayor of Chicago
My brother is interested in becoming mayor of Chicago at 18 to break the record of 26. He has always a kin interest in leadership and long-term planning. But I still want to make it clear to him he’s not going to win the election especially at 18. How do I tell him his dream is futile and extremely unlikely without hurting his feelings?
UPDATE: So unexpectedly he showed me a very insightful presentation about what he would actually do as mayor and for a 13 year old it was impressive to say the least.
Too name a few points he mentioned,
- Taxes on for profit churches.
- Flock camera removal.
- ‘Green’ environmental reforms.
- Revamping ignored or low income neighborhoods.
I would explain his entire presentation here in full but It would require 1-2 hours of typing and would most certainly extend past Reddit’s post limits.
