  This is what countries without a good social support network look like. It’s either government or younger generations that take care of elders. The US used to be government with retirement and social security but there’s a shift and US kids were not raised in a social situation that supports elderly, so it’s going to be a hard transition. The US has forgotten what the government was established for.
