Also, this ignores the rampant ageism that is ever-present in the workforce.
In today's economic circumstances, you are probably best working until you are 65 or more, unless you want to be impoverished in your later years. Also, your health care is tied to the workplace for the most part. Unless something changes drastically to correct this - something like UBI and/or better SS/Medicare, better ACA, etc., that's just the way it is.
In addition, biotech may add years of healthspan to people's lives, meaning they would be very able to work and live healthy lives much, much longer than was expected of prior generations. On the other hand, you have this accepted culture where it's like people start signaling to people as young as 35 that maybe they are getting long in the tooth.
I mean....what in the FUCK? How is that math going to work out in the aggregate?
assuming you can afford all these medications, and treatments that is.
