    It’s traumatic for many. People start to realize that they actually age in their 30s and turn to weird shit because they don’t know how to deal with trauma of aging.

    Rampant discrimination against older people, especially women is crazy and something you don’t fully notice until you or your peers are affected directly.

      I hear old people talk about this, but then they run every large business and government, have most of the money, and get like the majority of government services as well.

        Some of the older people do that. Others are 85-year-old wal-mart greeters.

          Sure, maybe. I guess until it’s us young people’s turn, it’ll be hard to know how much is real, and how much is directionless crankyness or early dementia.

          And FWIW there’s dumber things to build a hierarchy around. The very young understand little.
