I don't know that I want the current elderly generation to live longer. Can we hold off on this for.... Idk, say, 15 years until they all die off naturally?

Why? So that you can live longer and the next generation can whine about you?

I already don't like voting. I'm pretty sure most millennials only vote because there's generally one insane option, and one complete lunatic option, and we just want things to get worse as slowly as possible.

Give us anything that resembles rational and we'll just let the next generation take the reigns.
