    Well, in a couple of years, some countries more than 50% of the population will be retired. Even a perfect democracy would not pass a law to improve young people’s lives so they can have time and money to have kids.

    Just like in a perfect democracy, no affordable housing law will be approved because 66% of the population are homeowners.

    Its unsolvable.
