[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If they are lucky they belong to a church or other close knit community. [b]Otherwise, no one.[/b] [/quote] This is sad. You have to assume that there are many elderly people in this position. [/quote] This is an enormous calamity rolling in. It’s not that big a deal now because most childless elderly people have nieces and nephews. When the only children of only children get old, we’re going to need better social services. And having more children is not the answer. Our only realistic hope for pleasant survival is negative population growth. People who have no children or limiting themselves to having just one are helping us alll. We need to find ways to have negative population growth in a way that helps younger people, rather than trapping them in dead end jobs with big tax burdens. CMS needs our prayers (or nontheistic efforts to support it).[/quote]
