I suspect you’re making a point here, but I’m not sure what it is.
Remember that the silents were born in an age where unions were far more prevalent. I’m not sure whether that addresses the point you were trying to make, but maybe.

I don’t think they’re arguing for the old ways but rather just wondering out loud

Yep so it sounds like computers and society may be to blame for this? As we’ve moved towards a more individualistic society over the last 100 years we’ve gained a lot of things but being able to take care of our elders appears to have been lost in the fray :\
This will hurt a lot coming up with the low fertility rate and significant amount of older people
