It won’t fail catastrophically for several more years. I would say that most of the boomers will probably skate, it will be retiring gen-x that will have to fight off angry gen-y and z. And yes, by that time euthanasia will be routine.
I’m Gen X and I don’t know anyone of my generation who expects a dime back on SS. It may be 30 years until I retire, and there’s no way in the world this system is holding on until then. It’s got 10 years left at the current rate without radical restructuring.
