Generally no, but it didn't start out that way. I just highlighted the oddity that a political party that relies on old people was implementing policies that were accelerating the death rates of their core voter group, and that this seemed to be an odd thing to do.

For example, when the government introduced mandatory seat belts, there was a rise in the number of pedestrians killed. People wearing seatbelts felt safer driving faster.
