And the millennials...
I mean, the millennial generation, I think it's something like we're older millennials.
I think it's 1980 to 1986 is called the elder millennial generation.
Something like 58% of us have children.
That's the lowest in history.
So it is going to be a shock, a huge shock when our generation ages and there's no one there to do important services.
I mean, there's a lot of not only economic reasons, but just like the social fabric of what's about to happen of not having children.
I mean, this is how civilizations die.
Yeah, so one, the economic situation is going to get very bad.
When you think of, you know, the boomers are the largest, I think, generational cohort.
They're living longer than they ever have.
They're healthier, but they're getting to ages.
Who takes care of boomers when they're in their 80s and 90s?
They're in nursing homes.
You need service workers.
You need people to be able to take care of these aging people.
It used to be that you were taken care of in the family.
We don't do that anymore now.
We have nursing homes.
It's very rare that someone moves in when they're at a certain age with their children and they're taken care of.
