Term Limits have become very popular in the US over the past 10-15 years. Many offices now have voter imposed term limits, prohibiting elected officials from remaining in office for any length of time, and infusing new fresh blood and fresh ideas into these offices.
Why should elected office be
the only field which benefits from this refreshing turnover? Every occupation should have similar term limits imposed. By rotating people through different jobs every 8 years, there would be immense crossfertilization of different fields, and we would avoid the stale doldrums which sometimes settle over a business. There would need to be some card to ensure that people did not just _seem_ to be changing jobs - but actually taking a different administrative position in the same business, or working on a different part of the assembly line.

While there may be more people who know a bit about a bit more, there are some fields where having 30+ years of experience doing one particular thing could be extremely valuable. Bone. |

It occurred to me that this sadly overlooked scheme would allow more people to benefit from the very high salaries paid to some CEOs. The term limits for these positions could be made very short. A yearly compensation of 30,000,000 would translate into a salary of 27,397 for an 8 hour stint. I am sure there would be folks willing to continue chief executing on second and third shift as well, which would add value since I am near-certain current termless CEOs sleep for part of the day. |
