In the past they would’ve been old and grumpy and then died before they could cause real problems. Now with old people living longer than ever they can fuck things up for the rest of us.

I’m more talking about material conditions. Older people need more and produce less and if you’re a young person today you have more older people to support than ever before. On top of that a growing older population is a growing population with a vested interest in not changing society. My rhetorical question is deliberately inflammatory but I do honestly think that the average lifespan has grown faster than our society’s ability to adapt to an ageing population and young people will be the ones most impacted.
