Except we'll be able to afford it and even the government will enforce it.

Imagine paying for kids, school, and so on before people can start working and then get like only 30 years of productivity before having to take care of them again for years and years?!

Nah longevity will be sponsored and paid for by any not stupid country. How do we like to live our lives, that's another matter ofc.

It all depends on the caveats of immortality.

I'de guess it will all depend on shaped explosive collars and implants. And the suppression of associated jamming technologies.
