[Barbarossa]

This state of existence won't last forever, it kills the birth rates of a society and that will lead to economic collapse, as the population pyramid goes upside down, and the working age have to support 2 old people. You can already see this issue with Medicare. The long term implications (short term now because this trend has been going on since the 60s) are not good. We are the Roman Empire in AD 300. Maybe technology will save us. Maybe.
