Elder Superpower

Last time, we dragged the cancer into the light: elders pushed aside, kids left to raise themselves, and nobody in between. This time, we talk about what we can do about it.

Every elder is a library. Every day, thousands of those libraries close for good, and too many of the new ones are opening with empty shelves. We talk about why that happened, and why it’s not too late to fix.

We also take on the idea that old people are a drain, the pocket idiot box that took our place as teachers, and why most people agree on more than social media wants you to believe.

And then the good part. Being invisible isn’t our weakness. It’s our superpower. I’ll give you four things you can start doing this week, and one piece of homework before the next episode.

We’re the party of our grandkids, our nieces and nephews, every kid we love. They can’t vote yet. So we will vote for them.

Next episode: What happens when...?
