it's going to be kind of ironic when everyone is 50+ and collective dread sets in when many finally realize that there's not enough educated kids around to take care of them in their old age. way too many people just assume that there's going to be a shitload of nurses they can just pay to take care of them somehow, or that immigrants are somehow going to handle it despite certification reqs and costs of education. the people who actually take the time to build families are going to live like kings while everyone else is getting bled dry on hospice care due to supply and demand dynamics + competency crisis + tuition crisis + demographic collapse crisis all coming home to roost at the same time.
