I don't get your question. What will bounce back? The population or the retirement system?
Well, my point is, that we don't value the life itself. Neither as an experience, nor as an entity worth protecting. These people literally see a livetime production dollar amount. That is not what should be protected. That is not what it means to be alive.

I heard, that in some civilizations, it used to be an honor to leave by your own hand, once you were no longer able to live on your own properly.
And at this point, I believe that might actually be the only solution. Because we are getting trapped into a technologivcally enabled insanity.
Each advancement of medical science enables us to give old people more time alive at an ever increasing cost. Yes, the healthcare of young does become better too, but if we manage to unlock 2 more years for a million, all it does is increase the ammount of people who need that million dollar healthcare.... only so they ask for 2 more years for 5 mil.
It is an eternal cycle of more people needing more money for worse few years of life.
