This is what happens to most people as they get older.

I'd argue it's big reason for the "fuck you I got what I needed" you see in older people politically.

My nan for instance doesn't understand why people are struggling with money nowadays. But when she was young my grandad's job as a postman was enough to support her and 2 kids. She literally doesn't get how times are now.

Well, just MAYBE if those people are so out of touch, they should not get to be in control.
