We're pretty sure our system works well when we have enough children and it predictably works as it did for all the XX century. But if we don't have enough children we don't know what happens. Maybe it is "pushed to adopt". Maybe it implodes. Who knows. I happened to be born in the USSR. And then it failed to "change to adapt" and instead imploded on us into something as bad as two Great Depressions. Today I won't count on this adaptability business and I don't recommend anyone to do so. As for hard-working older folks who vote. The problem here is older folks who don't work but still vote. They vote themself a lot of socialism that taxes everybody else and also makes it counterproductive for hard-working older folts to work, since they get benefits anyway, which might be cancelled if they continue to work.
