"Chinese cities are so broke they're cutting medical benefits for seniors".

#####

That'd be right...and it's creeping into the West too.
A certain section of society seems to want to get rid of seniors as soon as possible.

If I make it into my 80's I'll have to sit a theory and do a practical driving test...which will include ...reversing into parking spaces.
That is an outrage. I hate reversing...and I hate waiting while people  on main roads and in carparks have 6 tries at doing it.

‐----------------------

"School closures spread as Japan struggles with depopulation."

#####

No surprise...only rich people and young professionals can really afford to have children today (and raise them in a good standard of accommodation, living.)
and, about 1/3 of some young populations identify as LGBTQIA+.
and, the average marriage in some countries only lasts 12 years.
and, more than a few young women in interviews on Youtube, when asked the question:
"Instagram...or...boyfriend?"....replied "Instagram".
and, on internet dating sites men rated 1 2 3 4 5 6 aren't getting any 'swipes', and, the women all want the men rated 8 9 and 10.
Men rated as a 7 are getting minimal reples.

The Native American Indians value their Elders, the old people in the Tribes are put in positions of power in the Tribe, the Seniors work on the Tribal Business Council, etc, the Elders in the Tribe are the leaders.

I think the Chinese value their Elders as well.

In Hollywood the young beautiful people have the power, but the old wealthy and famous people get their fair share of respect. And the old producers get respect. Aaron Spelling was well loved well into old age.

And in California you need to be rich if you want to get the women here, the women want men with money. The only poor men who get wives are the extremely handsome men who are an 8,9, and 10.

On the issue of the Japanese, they work themselves to death, they work extremely hard, and they are too busy working to get married and to start a family, and plus there is the high cost of a family. If Japan wants their people to have more children, then they need to give the workers more time off from work, the workers need more free time to be spent in a loving relationship in order to make babies. The Japanese need to be paid more money while at the same time they need to get more time off to spend creating a family. The movies, and television shows, and books, and magazines, in Japan can also be of romantic nature. And the Japanese can learn from the Italians and from the French when it comes to romance.

In the USA we are lucky to have Social Security and Medicare for our Seniors. And I love my Mother very much, I hope she lives forever, I talk with her on the phone everyday. And in Kiwanis many people are Seniors and they all volunteer to help to do charity work.

Salute,

Tony V.

For the rich Seniors in Laguna Beach there is Leisure World, they sit around the swimming pool and they eat strawberries, and they drink champagne, and they ride horses on the beach at night, etc, and they just play and have fun everyday, their Senior years are play-time like when they were children. Leisure World here in Laguna Beach, California, is a good place to spend one's last days.

Salute,

California continues to benefit from Tourism, and with the Rams coming back to L.A., and with the Chargers, and with all of the new stadiums and projects in L.A., the economy in California is getting better, and even the worst areas are now getting new opportunities.

Father Boyle and Homeboy Industries can help the troubled youth to learn how to benefit from the Tourism in California, and they can sell hot dogs and beer to tourists at the Football Games, etc, and at the Basketball Games, and the Hockey and Baseball Games, etc.

My friend Tom put together a team of homeless people to sell hot dogs and beer to raise money for charity to feed the hungry people, he hired people from homeless shelters and from N/A Meetings and he raised over one million dollars for charity, he raised money for "Canning Hunger" in order to help to feed the hungry people. They sold hot dogs and beer here at Angel Stadium, plus at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena, and also in San Diego, he had about 60 people on his team and it was all about helping the homeless people to feel useful, it was about helping people to regain their self esteem by helping others. When you do charity work then it builds your self esteem.

California continues to benefit from Tourism. We need to stop the Gang Violence and we need to nurture our youth so that they lead lives where they feel valuable. Father Boyle and others can help to guide the troubled youth onto a better path.

The Small Business Administration can also give Business Loans to the Troubled Youth, they need to help the troubled youth to open their own hot dog carts, etc.

When life gives you lemons, then you make lemonade, and God has given California the Tourism Industry, and we need to make the most out of what we were given, we need to create a wonderful experience for our tourists, and we can transform the lives of the Young People by teaching them how to benefit from the Tourism Industry.

Salute,

Tony V.

As a result, a substantial number of machine guns are still in circulation. As of 2020, the national registry of machine guns contained registrations for 726,951 machine guns.


We need to seize them all and melt them down.
RedDick being what he is he will never recognize, or at least acknowledge, that his post reinforces Oil's point.
You do not seem to follow the conversation very well, if at all.
Your inability to understand your own posts, or else admit to what they actually say, is astonishing.
LOL!

Republicans

This is a partisan witch hunt! Outrageous!

The sham New York indictment of President Donald Trump is one of the clearest examples of extremist Democrats weaponizing government to attack their political opponents Steve Scalise R-LA

The whole GOP is on board with the witch hunt frame.

Irony.

Oct 7, 2020 Trump demands Barr arrest political opponents

More irony

Sounds great.
Yes, rich people sure do have much better lives than poor people and the middle class that's getting poorer every day.

Nothing much is shocking anymore in my world.
Adults can please themselves, but children are just that, children...and children need protecting from many things until they are adults.

Yes, rich people sure do have much better lives than poor people and the middle class that's getting poorer every day.

It is nice when rich people are generous, and when the rich people help to make life better for the poor people.

My dearly departed friend Tom used to cook steak and lobster for the homeless people when he was managing homeless shelters.

And my dearly departed friend Lisa was a saint, she put the homeless people in nice expensive homes and she cooked for them.

My dearly departed friend Chris used to drive around in a van with a female social worker and he used to pick up the homeless people and he used to take them to shelters to get help.

If the rich people are nice, then they can help the poor, and the world can be a better place.

Mayor Bass is working hard to help the homeless people in Los Angeles, it is getting better. The world can get better if the good people take action and if people help the poor.

Salute,

Tony V.

We need to bring back the 1960s and peace and love and all of that happy stuff. And Mayor Bass and the people who are helping the homeless need to have joy as they help the homeless. The world needs more joy.

The homelessness, and gang violence, and pain and sorrow and misery in the cities, needs to end.

The people need to show love for their neighbors like the Bible says, and we need to help each other.

Maybe Goldie Hawn and Kurt Russell can help, and Cher, and Carlos Santana, and other old hippies.

The world needs love, and peace, we need a new movement to make the world a better place.

Mayor Bass can help.

Salute,

Tony V.

If we care, and if we take action, while working together as a team, then we can make the world a better place for all of us.

In Kiwanis International we had some cool people in our group, we had City Council members, and we had the Chief of Police, along with business owners, etc. We all volunteered to help to make our world a better place, and so the Chief of Police told us which neighborhood in Anaheim was the worst neighborhood in Anaheim, and then we went into the worst neighborhood in Anaheim and we went knocking on doors. We got the people together and we cleaned up the graffiti, and we gave the people the contact information for all of the owners of the apartment buildings, etc, etc, etc. It did not cost one cent, we were all volunteers, people just need to care enough to take action, we went in and cleaned that neighborhood up and we got the people of the neighborhood together and gave them the contact information for the owners of the complexes, and that neighborhood stayed nice. That was 13 years ago and the neighborhood is still nice. People just need to care enough to take action, and then once people experience a good civilized life then they do not want to go back to having high crime and problems. The people want to have a good safe home, they just need some help, then they will keep it nice.

People just need to care, and they need to take action.

Salute,

Tony V.

For The Record.

Florida has become the 26th US State to allow citizens to carry firearms without a permit and without having to pay a fee.
