Seniors had care when there were less resources because families had 6 kids to raise. I showed that because children take up more resources than elderly that they not only wouldn’t rot, but would have more care because the resources that went to children would go to them.
We literally don’t have the workers to care for the elderly AND run society.
Yet we can have the resources to raise kids that cost even more? That makes no sense.

I can’t begin to tackle that one. Jesus. You’ve certainly never had kids nor been old, I get that much.
I do both. I have a mother in law in a retirement center. I have 2 kids.
How many kids do you have?
Historically, this was made possible by unpaid care labor performed primarily by women and children.
