Much of the west is getting older and getting sicker. How unsurprising.

What even is the solution? Expand the already massive healthcare sector further? Where does the money for that come from?

We have the money. Wealth is everywhere but as a society it's neither evenly distributed nor compassionately allocated. But that is human nature.

Modern society is based on a pyramid scheme and the cancer of infinite growth. We will burn this planet to the ground to ensure that certain classes of people never lose.
