  • We’re talking about people here. Those are the “resources” we’re talking about. You’re not going to force 50% of the population to physically take care of the other 50%. You can’t force the majority of <60 to work in retirement homes. That isn’t going to work.

    And even if there were no rich people, someone working full time will have to pay for their life + that of at least one other person. The burden will not be distributed across 3+ people i.e 3+ people won’t be funding the retirement of 1 old person.

    That the 1% is taking too much and leaving too little is undeniable, but please bring up the argument when it is relevant. Yes, they are a major cause of people not having children (things aren’t affordable, they own everything, they control media and politics, etc.), of course. But once the damage is done, the aged population will be an additional problem.
