No, don't throw the younger generations under the bus to clean up our messes.

If nothing else we are ride or die with them.

Unfortunately you won't die with us, you'll die much sooner, not choking on a lack of oxygen or dying of dehydration.

We need more elders like those in Japan who volunteered to clean up nuclear waste because they wouldn't have to live with the long-term side effects of being exposed to radiation.

As elders, y'all wouldn't have to live as long in jail ¯\(ツ)

Just get a vasectomy so your children won't be wage slaves. EZ
