To be fair we do live too long. Rotting in our failing bodies while we lose who we are is a fate worse than death. All to keep Republicans in power and scammers rich.
It was common a few generations back to have your teeth pulled and be fitted for dentures in your 30s.
The end of your natural life is always going to be gnarly.
There is a distinct concept between a “life span” and a “health span”.
Nobody denies that there is a point in time that your health fails to the point where additional life comes with diminished returns. This is where right to die legislation becomes very important.
But, speaking in broad general statistical generalities, both lifespan and health span have been increasing. The gap has always existed. In short: people have always lived too long, as you put it.
Some countries actually care about their people and provide free, government funded healthcare. You could vote and write to your politicians in ways that support implementing that into your area.

Oh haha. Yeah I know how I sound, but you watch a love one deteriorate and see how you feel.

No he’s right. They want you living longer so you can work longer and consume longer.
Number only goes bigger if you have more workers and consumers. Once either of those things stops being true you can’t have “infinite growth”.
There’s no way they want you living a shorter life. Not to mention all the money in old people care. It’s a massive industry.
Living too long is NOT the same as not having adequate care in old age.
OK. So if you’re one of the VERY few lucky people to have amazing healthcare then sure… Live forever. Most of us don’t so what do we do?

I do vote, but this is America. I have no real power.
Not with that bitch ass attitude.
Look around. Look where we are. Your proud little comment is delusional.
