Old people are utterly useless. Why do we keep them around at an advanced age? They do nothing but devour resources and provide zero benefits.

Although elderly people may not produce directly, they do provide important social contributions that younger generations rely on. Elders have accumulated wisdom, valuable experiences, and may still have knowledge or abilities that are of benefit. For example, many elderly people volunteer their skills to the community, and their presence has positive psychological effects. Moreover, caring for elderly family members is often a financial and practical burden that falls heavily on younger generations, regardless of wealth or class.
