I'm not arguing against doing it. I'm not an ogre. But this is all to ensure the safety of the boomers. And they'd better be fucking thankful.
Out of curiosity, have you talked recently to anyone older that 65? A lot of them are shut up in their homes, fearing social contact, and hearing your ideas might be uplifting for them.
