I mean, if can mandate that "no out-of-touch, old, rich people" can "live longer than they should" to solve the problem, then we could ALSO solve the problem more directly and thoroughly by just mandating that "this is available to everyone". I don't make the rules, that's how this hypothetical works out if you think about it.

Actually, I think you're wrong.

Maybe just my experience, though.
