    “Why don’t old(er than me) people simply die and stop being leeches?” is a wild take.

    Do you apply that logic to other people who take more from society than they (currently) contribute?

      “Why are they living so long” lol As if boomers are choosing to live long lives strictly to spite younger generations. How long you live is not really a choice. One could suicide, but if you’re in good health and living a reasonably happy life, why would you, or anyone?. Is the poster suggesting we go Soylent Green and all die at age 30 or w/e?

        Actually, you’re thinking of Logan’s Run. Soylent Green turned any dead person into food, but you could live to old age. Logan’s Run would kill you off the year you turn 30. 🤓
