Are old people a burden on society?
<|assistant|>
No, old people should not be considered a burden on society, but rather an asset. Older adults are knowledgeable and experienced and have a great deal of wisdom to offer. Older people typically volunteer more and spend less compared to other age groups, which benefits society. They have also contributed significantly through their years of work and thus have earned the right to maintain their dignity and pursue happiness in their retirement years.
