So for some reason, old people are still around. They can't do anything and they get in the way, but our society does not execute them and turn them into soylent green for some reason. Why?
Old people - yes or no? -

How old? And what type? We talking the retired smokejumper and forest ranger who rolled with the FBI and DEA raiding methlabs and weed grows out in green hell, or the catty 70 year old bitch driving an F350 cutting me off in the grocery store parking lot, who's most arduous task in life is occasionally taking in the ass from her actuary husband?
The first will take you on coyote hunts, the second is a waste of humanity.

That is the most important distinction. There is waste of space taking the form of people, no matter the age nor gender in today's world. And to be honest i would take a 60 something farmer that does carpentry rather than a 20 something college graduate that is knee deep into communism and thinks that activism is a job. When it comes to usefulness it's a matter of perspective.
But there is also the humane component. For example, an old man can be completely lucid but so terribly sick he asks to be put out of his misery every single time someone goes to check on him. Or a woman that is so senile she has to be reminded where she is and who she is every morning. In those cases i would say it's the right thing to do because keeping them alive is no mercy. You know they are not going to get better and keeping them around is just prolonging their suffering.

i mean old people can be pretty based in some areas.
You guys really think there are only young ones at the Farms, do ya?
I remember some guy told me he was 40+ and that blew my fucking mind.

40+ how cute! I'm 54, by the way.
You're literally as old as one of my parents. Can you be my new dad?
GET OFF MY LAWN
That's kinda gay, bro.
Old people are alright, they just need to legally 'die' at 60 or so. No votes, no driving, will is executed, the whole number. Then it's up to the people in their lives to support them (or not). Society would need to shift a bit to accommodate the walking dead, but I think it'd be a net positive.
I don't think there's anything wrong with old people until they need to be looked after. Like my grandpa is 77 and still doing well but I've seen 55 year old women shake and nearly collapse just getting change out of their purse.
As much as I'd like to just kill all useless old people, or people in general, there's no way to do it without there being some serious issues about abuse of such a thing. Euthanasia is the best alternative but there would have to be some serious restrictions on it.

But if there’s no old people around then won’t we be the old people? 
It’d be like Logan’s Run.
