It is already impossible to see a doctor, and people have to settle for an NP/PA. A large proportion of young people are already despondent that they will never earn enough money to have enough purchasing power to increase their living standards.
These things are connected. And at every point, the solution has always been to tax young people more. That’s the ageism. Old people get federal government backed asset prices, discounts on property taxes, and young people get increased earned income taxes, for benefits they will never get themselves.
> Seriously. It’s sad to see someone preemptively throw their life away over an imaginary crisis.
It’s not throwing my life away to not want my descendants to spend their resources on caring for me all the time. Obviously, I am not talking about suicide just because I need help getting groceries, but instead when I need hundreds of thousands of dollars to keep me alive for a couple months or years in a bed, I think that could be better spent elsewhere in society.
