This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:
- Anon is often crazy.
- Anon is often depressed.
- Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

i mean ruling class // basic economics
lots of old people + more pensions + more healthcare costs + less young people working = young people pay more taxes + work harder for less = a bad thing
outside of some techno fantasy solution where robots care for the elderly (how dystopian in itself) having more old people than young people is never a good thing
But it's good for the current old people that can exploit the labor of a larger young population and then die before they have to deal with the fallout.
