Americans over the age of 65 represent less than 20% of the population. The group of people 60 to 64 is 6.5% of the population. That's not even a quarter of the population.
As to your question, yes. Even if it was 90% of the population that was 60+. being an elder, senior citizen, a member of the grandparent generation, olds, or whatever you'd like to call them has more to do with the individual's age than how many of them there are.
The average life expectancy for Americans is 79. In the US at least we define "senior citizen" as over 60 (legally and for healthcare), that seems like a reasonable age for elder to start.
It's kind of depressing that elder, as defined by uber, is older than most people live to be.
Because the first time I read it I was a poor and stupid teenager slowly being pulled into an alt-right pipeline. After I figured that out I reread it with a more critical lens for closure.
"Nuh uh, it was the illegal immigrants we didn't kill with the razor wire", Ken Paxton after Harris wins Texas, probably.
I've read it twice, and I agree. The plot amounts to spoiled, rich children take their ball and go home because they're mad the poors won't let them strip the world of resources for personal gain. The author makes it clear throughout the text that Dagny, Hank, and Galt are the heros for fucking off to larp as robber barons in the 1880's.
As a philosophic text objectivism is naive at best and a cynical justification for authoritarianism at its worst.
Atlas Shrugged by Ayn Rand.
Creditors and debtors of what? Cause it kind of sounds like if you issued the government your birth certificate that would mean they purchased it and you sold it to them on credit.
They did it on purpose and ended up conning me out of a few hundred bucks I didn't have to lose.

Fake moon landing, aliens built the pyramids why do some conspiracy theories insist on robbing humans of their monumental achievements. My guess is that people who create and share conspiracies like those are too dumb to realize that other people have different knowledge than they do.
