In so many respects, it is a world to die for.
Not half.
You'd kill us all.
We'll be dead at 65.
Ah, life expectancy at birth was indeed 10 or 12 years lower, I grant you.
But let this objection pass.
Old age, as we know because we read it everywhere, is a state of misery, penury, gaga, ill health, loneliness and abuse.
We plunder our children's inheritance to dribble into our Albran.
Is it any wonder they're queuing for suicide clinics in Switzerland?
Better, surely, to avoid all that and stop anyone entering retirement decrepitude and burden.
Worse health care, diet and housing and crippling jobs should do the trick.

You imply we'd be poorer, madam?

Have you not seen what they charge for a smartphone?
A phone, for goodness sake!
