That's true to some extent*, but

1. it is more distinctly so on Tau Ceti, where few elderly people live on a government payment and there are few young people in wealthy household, and
2. it is far from universal in Flat Black, and therefore has to be noted.

* I am even used to this being the case in my native society, Australia having fewer people expecting to depend on a public pension in their retirement than America has, and a narrower distribution of wealth.
