I mean, you lost me here. The notion that people are being distributed money based on their age is wildly off the mark. The US has an enormous population of impoverished elderly people and a tiny population of extraordinarily rich elderly people. The wealth isn’t anywhere approaching evenly distributed.
So much of this is just blaming “The Olds”. Nevermind that much of the AI rollout is being performed by the cartel of mega-influential Millennials and Zoomers and a smattering of GenAs. How do you square this? The tech industry is dominated by folks under 50. The people coming out of college to join the tech sector are being paid salaries to perform this automation. The thing you’re complaining about is people maybe 4-10 years your senior doing the work that you would be doing if you’d gotten there a bit earlier.
Nothing in this bit implies any amount of class solidarity. It’s all just crabs in a bucket.

This. The essential struggle is a class struggle.
