I’d like to see voting power adjusted to the age of the voter. An 18 year old should get 100 votes and lose one vote each year after that. A 19 year old gets 99 votes, a 40 year old gets 78 votes, an 80 year old gets 38 votes and so on. This gives those with the most stake in the future a greater say in the planning for that future.
