And so if you happen to be in a moment where a president is trying to cut the immigrant population, I already have heard stories and talked to agencies where their labor force is shrinking because these people are scared to come to work or...

getting their protected status pulled, or any other number of reasons why they are no longer available.

So instead of getting better, that piece of this is in line to get worse.

So, the demographics alone are a little bit terrifying.

I think it's something like every day an average of 10,000 people turn 65.

Wow.

Because the baby boomers are getting older.

And the number of kids people are having in the U.S.

are shrinking and people are living longer.

And so, it's combined...

to create this perfect storm.

And I don't see anybody much working to seriously address a situation that is expected to get worse, you know, for the foreseeable future, for like another couple of decades before it could even have a chance demographically.

Like the math is just overwhelming as the baby boomer generation gets older.

Okay, so...

this will sound weird, but well before my dad got sick, I was reporting on things.

And one of the things that I was reporting on in terms of the aging situation was like different models for where you live as you age.

So I have been to the villages in Florida.

I have been to Portland to look into these kind of

that have popped up, mostly populated by older residents.

I have been to look at kind of low-income communities where you have seniors on site
