ScroungeArounge
Plus everyone dies. So like... the logic checks out.
whitepine71
Don't Forget all our parents too! Thanks OP!
CChowder
Wait, you're telling me old people are going to die?!
MetaVulture
Shatner and White aren't boomers. That means they are safe, right? Right?
algoritham
Means they are overdue :/
Catodactyl
Buckle up buckaroos. :(
cyberspork
60 isnt really that old though
LordLeandros
That means nice, well cared for homes are going on the market!
algoritham
Silver linings and all that.
dashthefox
Never thought of it that way....hih
Aethora88
Well they won't/can't retire sooo....maybe this way the unemployment rate will drop even faster.
Murdox1221
Wait you mean 2016 wasn't some exceptionally bad year!?
algoritham
Only going to get worse.
Locolarue
If there was a baby boom in the 50s-60s, and people grew up then with worse habits and substance abuse and weird diets, etc. then when they
Locolarue
get 60-70...it can happen and there will be more of them, since the baby boom produced more celebrities.
GreedyJungle
I'm just ready so I can take their fucking jobs Jesus Christ some people work forever
gingerminge
I was just telling my friends this. And to expect the ones that rode youth hard to fall first.
Nicarus9
Get out of here with your logic and stuff
LukewarmBeans
Plus they all did a lot of drugs.
TheBestPartOfWakingUpIsUpvotesInYourCup
Baby boomers did a lot of drugs
ThisAnalrapistneedsANuStart
Expect improvement in our laws as well
AlteredGhecko
I've been saying this all year.

Used that frog as my wallpaper for many many years
IJUSTMADETHEVOICEINYOURHEADYELL
A LOT OF YOUNGER CELEBRITIES DIED THIS YEAR AS WELL.

RIP Harambe

Yeh we know
boochickyboo
Also means those non celeb boomers will open up some job opportunities out there for youngins
Caniac
For robot repairmen, more likely

Randall whatshisname from XKCD made a Python script to predict celebrity deaths for one of his comics.

50 percent by 2017 foe the four Star Wars actors. Statistics are scary cool sometimes.
ToxicPineapple
Munroe I believe
CallMeRobt
Also, they vote. May they die, quickly.
vincentlaguardiagambini
Dad died a year ago, Dec 4th. My mom has the same birthday as Carrie Fisher, but mom is two years younger.
Hagelbosse
Yeah but this is like the red fucking wedding season only the good ones are dying.
TheZulthar
Yeah, red wedding
ninjaoftheworld
It's the ones in their 50s-60s that are particularly jarring. Even with a youth full of substance abuse that feels young.
Ravben
The thing is for some of them it was cancer.
ff36
It's jarring for me because that's around my parents age... the invincibility that you once believed in is being shot to pieces...
TheNextMsFrizzle
Same... and my moms a heavy smoker. All I can do is worry daily.
ZigZagZombiesZoom
Especially considering the fact she was survived by her 84 year old actress mother.
RogueOfHeart
Update: her mother just had a stroke and died
ZigZagZombiesZoom
I know I didn't but I feel like I jinxed it. Sorry guys :( Her mom was an adorable icon.
ninjaoftheworld
Right? Parents burying their children, of any age, is just heartbreaking.
gbreezy
She did do a lot of drugs...
baronridiculous
She also smoked. That probably did as much damage as the rest combined.
tristeng
Hopefully it accelerates greatly to include most of the older political class.

As if the next group will B better. Power corrupts, don't give the govt power you wouldn't give to Thanos.
Anthroposapien
They are unfortunately harvesting the souls of these dying celebrities for longer lives.

I'm from the future. It turns out 2016 was actually a freak year when it came to celebrity deaths. Greetings from early 2024

The hate and corruption keeps them preserved.

I'm Donald Trump, and I approve this message.
whocaresdotcom
Perhaps Hillary Clinton will be next. Although, she probably made a deal with the devil, so it won't happen as soon as I'd like.

Always classy to wish death on your fellow countrymen...and political enemies...
furriephillips
Seems more likely than them seeing reason.
LosPer
Reason...as you see it? I guess only liberals have a moral claim at representation? You'll be very unhappy for the next 4 years...
furriephillips
It's not my country that voted in a fucking clown-baby - I shall watch yours go down the shitter, with great amusement ;)
LosPer
What the US does is felt the world over...so good luck with that...
GenericUsernameIsAlreadyTaken
I can almost guarantee you that the younger political class will hardly be any better.
baronridiculous
The far right is anchored in the over-60 demographic. I'm old my damn self, but they can't die fast enough for me.
KharnApproves
Probably, but we can hope.
Mdp2525
Seriously. Some of the worst of the worst is yet to come. Alt-Right & Liberal fringe is just getting started. More polarized than ever.
CouldHaveBeenHitler
Sooo... Back to the 70s, then?
TheresAnUpvoteForThat
Being President ages them fast (if they take the responsibility seriously). Trump's already 70, so
baronridiculous
Only if they, you know. Work hard. Worry. Think. Take the job seriously. So, he won't change much. We, OTOH, will prob. turn pretty gray.
Flamennight
I think @tristeng is talking about Congress more than the ppresident. Like we'll have new party norms with the old career politicians out
tristeng
this, forget the crazy left or right and worrying about extremes, there are good people in 'lower' politics with no leverage for elections.
GhostySpook
That scene gave me nightmares as a child
DrakonRax
That'll leave us with pence. He's worst.
