More youthful representation would better serve the country, young members of Congress say. But members of Congress, political scientists, and strategists generally don't blame age for these downfalls — leaders both young and old are prone to controversy. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez made history in 2019 as the youngest woman ever elected to Congress, at 29. "I was always accustomed to being the youngest," Schatz told Insider at the Capitol. The nation needs "more principled members of Congress," Republican Rep. Lauren Boebert of Colorado, 35, told Insider, adding: "It doesn't matter their age."

Urmează să fie construite opt submarine, iar primul va intra în teste în 2025. În cadrul ceremoniei care a marcat începutul programului, președintele taiwanez Tsai Ing-wen a spus că acesta este un moment istoric și dovedește "voința puternică a Taiwanului în fața lumii". Beijing susține că are suveranitate asupra statului insular Taiwan - o democrație cu 24 de milioane de locuitori aflată la sud-est de China continentală, deși cele două părți sunt guvernate separat de mai bine de 70 de ani. Președintele chinez Xi Jinping a jurat că Beijingul nu va permite niciodata insulei să-și obțină independența și a refuzat să excludă folosirea forței în caz de necesitate. Noile unități urmează să înlocuiască actuala flota de patru submarine a Taiwanului, vechi de aproape 75 de ani.

Astfel, potrivit unui studiu recent, al doilea copil al familiei are toate sansele sa fie mai nazdravan decat primul nascut. Cercetarea spune ca exista mai multe sanse ca al doilea nascut sa fie mai obraznic decat primul copil. De exemplu, la primul copil parintii isi concentreza toata atentia asupra lui, in timp ce la aparitia celui de-al doilea, lucrurile se schimba, parintii devin un pic mai relaxati. Astfel, parintii nu vor mai fi la del de stricti ca in cazul primului copil, pentru ca au capatat experienta mai multa. De asemenea, cel de-al doilea nascut poate sa se afle adesea intr-o rivalitate cu primul nascut, pentru a capta atentia parintilor.
