Yes. It should be the opposite! The grannies should be the first ones to defend the young; not the reverse. They've had their turns. What can a 80 yo contribute to society compared to a 8 month, 8,18,28, 38, 48, 58 yo?

My mum is 85 and contributes a lot, lucky she did not fall for the narratives and remains pure blood. All her friends did and have numerous health issues. My mum is a leader and remains strong, eats lots of fruit to keep her healthy.
Those people virtue-signaled against the obvious, what have they done re how the elderly have been and are being treated? Have they gotten on their high horses and said something?
By "contribute" I meant working, careers, having and raising kids, etc - those whose lives are still ahead of them; not behind them.
I remember immigrants and pioneers who sacrificed much in order for their CHILDREN to have better futures. Now they reversed that role and people fell for it.
There is a classic cartoon by Bob Moran which neatly captures this theme: an old man with a walking carrying a child in his front vest with the words "Stab vest" written on it.
Of course, no rational person advocates for the untimely departure of any one. However, if a choice has to be made, a rational person would choose a 18 over a 81 yo!
I am about your age and if a choice must be made between an 18 yo and me, I know what my answer would be!
Yeah I get it, but we should not have to choose. There are many older people still doing a lot of good work to make the world a better place. We need to unite and stop talking ages, gender, and whatever, we are one.

Should this, should that - however, we need to face reality.
How many of those older people doing things that the younger ones could not do?
Why do you think most people retire at 65 to 70? Here in Australia, judges must retire by 70, 72 depending on which courts they serve'
Why?
Sportspeople retire - even those which don't involve much physical activity, like chess.
