That's a bleak way of seeing it. The idea that there are only so many "spots" and if you get one a younger person doesn't. It makes the elderly sound like a luxury item for a society.

You can imagine people arguing about the social budget and saying, "well, it was nice having all these old people around but we just can't afford them anymore". We are going to have to let them all die.

For the sake of the children.

Then what?

If we don't start dying off fast enough they "help us along"? Nothing so drastic as putting grandpa on an ice floe, or euthanasia at say 70, but perhaps just no medical care for those over 70.

The "Let Nature take its Course Act" of 2030 perhaps. Where Seniors are required to pay out of their own funds for healthcare and those that cannot are allowed to die "naturally". In tune with their bodies.

So that we can get back to G-d's Plan for society. One in which there are way fewer old people. Our current demographics are just unnatural and probably caused by Liberals consorting with Demonic forces.

I don't know about you, but I am not optimistic about living to be 100.
