    It’s more like “you haven’t earned the right to have other people keep you alive”. I daresay it’s related to how, after 40ish years of working and raising a family and being a good citizen you can retire and have the bar for “staying alive” set a lot lower for most.

      I’d amend that to: “You haven’t earned the right to have other people keep you alive after you grow up”

        Sure, and we should define “growing up” as having mental capacity to provide for yourself. That’s kind of getting into the weeds here though.
