Sounds about right.
Also.
Sudden death for worn-out workers. We'll invent a rationale for that eventually. 20 years of retirement is just an unnecessary drain on the economy.
Like in Logan's Run except more plausible.
Also cellphones implanted at birth. With stress induction.
Also, radical amputation for information workers. All that extra flesh is just an unnecessary drain on the economy.

I n the UK there's already some disdain for 'boomers' because they're getting state pensions and are quite likely to own several mortgage-free houses. Tax rises only affect those currently working so young people people get irked at having to pay more into a system where they're unlikely to get much out. It's not entirely unjustified but the assumption that 'boomer's got stuff for free isn't necessarily true. It's a interesting development and worth watching.
- swayvil 5y agoJeez. You people catch nuance like a chainlink fence catches mosquitoes. I'm not saying that I buy into the "kill the old" thing. I'm just saying it's the natural evolution of our society. Aristocrats get gilded, serfs get grinded.
