There is a point, where even the most jaded politician has to say "ENOUGH!"
Walt is Dead (1966) , most of those that painted the Cells are dead

I always thought life plus 50 was absurd. +70 could exceed the lifespan of the next generation.

I can see the Kids inheriting the royalties. They had to put up with "Not Now!, I have a deadline to meet" or "No one bought my latest, we will be eating beans for awhile".
But Grand kids or Great Grand kids reaping the efforts that were made before they were born???

Why not the kids of Engineers? Some of the devices that my Dad worked on long hours are still in use (or laid the foundation for the modern version)?
I am quite sure there are other proffessions where the family took back seat to work.
