It depends. If you're someone like, say, Trump, then truly nothing matters because you're far too old to care. You can pretty much burn the whole world down and suffer zero consequences.

This is one of the biggest downsides to letting the most old, and "wise", among us run the show. They have no incentive to help future generation or even current generations.

If they can afford the oxygen tanks, their comfort is slightly better than the rest of us. It's what makes America great again!
