On the issue of social systems which take care of their seniors and which value their elders...
I was taught very young in elementary school about the Mayan people of Mexico and about their social system where the children and young people took care of the elders, while the elders were the leaders in the Government, etc.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Childhood_in_Maya_societyAnd in Europe today the people live with their whole extended family and they help their elders, while at the same time the elders can baby-sit the children while the younger adults work, etc.
The culture in the United States where you are on your own at 18 years old is different. When I was a little kid I worked with my Grandmother, she was a dog groomer and I washed dogs for her to help her to buy food and to pay the rent, so I did help my Grandmother. But, when I was homeless on the street no one in my family felt obligated to help me, and I was on my own. I was homeless for 2 years, and no one cared. And even worse, when I was homeless in Hollywood it was against the law to feed the homeless, there were times when I went up to 3 days without eating.
I support communities where they value their elders, and where they have a sense of family and a sense of community. Italy is my favorite country, maybe I will move to Italy and marry an Italian woman and get a big Italian family and grow old where the elders are valued.
I am also a Christian, and I support helping the needy as the Bible tells us to in Matthew 25; 31-46, in a Christian community people would have helped me when I was homeless. In Italy they do not have homeless people because Italy is a Christian nation and they help each other. Also Italy has hostels where you can take a shower and where you can sleep in a bed for $15 per night.
( Of Note, we have rich Christians coming to the USA from the Philippines who are helping the homeless here in California, and they are helping the Foster Children, etc. We also have doctors here from the Philippines who are treating our poor here in California. )
Salute,
Tony V.
