Your "Wow" threw me and gave me a suspicion that your reply will be biased :) Please allow me to clarify my statements and see if I can make any sense. (FYI i have two older parents as well and the whole point is not to "discard" old people instead create parallel opportunities that would require less consumption of resources. Honestly speaking medicinal science has caught up to the point where more and more people and enjoying longer lives but the economy is slowing down and consumption of natural resources is increasing.

And yes my comments were mostly targeted at richer older people. Come live in Manhattan and see it for yourself what I am talking about. I dont want to spend my life in NYC or SF. I want to spend 10+ good years here to learn and contribute towards the industry and move out of here and give the resources to younger generation instead of hoarding on them. My perspective my comments they are all revolve around urban dwelling and not most of the older class living peacefully in suburban sprawls.

I am sure I am baised, I just don't know how.

< people instead create parallel opportunities that would require less consumption of resources.

I get that. How?

I get this too.. and actually, you are way ahead of me as compared to my "youth" I wanted to be CEO and thought it was going to be as easy as a proof in geometry which required no effort.

Aging is a funny thing. Viewed from afar it is understood by way of observation. Viewed from inside it is understood by reflection.
