if the government isn't stepping up to help old developers, shouldn't there be a developers' union to take care of them?

Old age and ill health can happen to anyone. Even crack developers.

Yes, but we are doing sooo well in our twenties and thirties, why would we unionize....

it's the usual thing. we all want to be zuck. we don't want to cramp the lifestyle of zucks by unionizing in case it hurts us when we become one. Like lottery ticket buyers oblivious to the fact that buying a ticket is an expected negative.
